    ===========================================
    And you expect everyone to guess what you already tried?
    Or...should they offer suggestions so you can say...Nope...
    already did that and it didn't work.

    Anyway...maybe the following article will offer something
    new.

    Windows Vista -
    How to Turn Folder Preview Thumbnails
    On or Off in Windows Explorer in Vista
    Thumbnails in Windows Explorer

    And just wondering...did you try deleting or renaming
    the Windows Photo Gallery database....Pictures.pd4?
    The following article offers instructions:

    (944221) Windows Live Photo Gallery stops
    responding or will not start

    As John says we don't have any idea what you have tried so far. Plus we don't know how knowlegable you are so forgive me here if you tried this, Open "tools", "folder optiions" and then click on the "view" tab. Play with the settings there, such as "always show icons, never thumbnails" or "Display icons as thumnails". Hope you find it and good luck to you.
