Re: Viewing thumbnails

I'm having the same problem. It came on suddenly, just in the last day or
so, but I can't view images in Thumbnails view or in Filmstrip view. The
images are .jpg's for the most part, a few .gif's and .bmp's. I'm running XP
Pro, SP2. I've tried rebooting and other routine steps like registry cleanup
(using Registry Mechanic and Bug Doctor), and nothing seems to work. I wish
rebooting would do it as it did for Yves Alarie! Help!
