Unable to view pictures in Film Strip format in Vista? HELP!!!!

I'm trying to figure out how I can view my photos in "FILM STRIP" view just
as I did in Windows XP. Vista only allows me to view them in "Extra Large
Icons" which, still arent that large, the Film strip view was a lot better,
and even if I Customize the folder to be "Photos and Videos" this option is
still not available. Please Help!

The film strip view is removed in Vista. (IMO it's good they removed it
because I think wasn't that really useful)

However, you can enable the Preview pane, where you can view the pictures a
lot larger but without opening them. (Organize>Layout>Preview Pane)

Hi Ronnievdl and AntonXP,

I'm having the same problem. Previously, i could preview my images in small
icons before opening them. Now I don't have a clue which are which since all
my images are named as default from my camera. Even if I use the "Preview
Pane" I still don't see the picture. All I see is the default image from
Vista. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Thanks,
