Greetings,

I can no longer view jpgs or other format thumbnails in windows
explorer. The only exception is Paint Shop Pro files, whose thumbnails
show up fine.

I'm running Win XP SR 2. This only happened recently. Jpgs can be
opened and viewed in other programs.

Any help in reestablishing the ability to view jpgs will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ira
