Where are the thumbnails in Vista???

[rogerbeck]

I just installed Vista and man, does it suck big time.

So how, exactly, do i get actual thumbnails to show up in dialog boxes? lets say i open a folder and want to select a photo. in XP, it makes little thumbnails so you can see what the photos are. In Vista, that does not happen, there are just generic icons, are they f*ck*ng craxz? What is Vista 2 or 3 steps backwards?

Vista not generating thumbnails

In Control Panel (Classic View) > Folder Options > View tab, un-check
"Always show icons, never thumbnails" (Apply, OK).

If you are still having this problem then you can try this solution

• open (my computer)
• right click on a blank area of the screen and select (properties)
• select (advanced system settings) from the left of the window
• select (performance)
• select (adjust for best performance) then click apply
• when its changed select (let windows choose wht's best for my computer) then apply

fixed.

if you have already figured this out then well done.

Right click on computer, select properties, and then edit the visual performance settings, so that it is set to run in the most visually appealing mode rather than fastest. You may need to reboot but thumbnails should work after that.

• Go into Start > Pictures
• Click the "Organize" Dropdown and click "Folder and Search Options"
• Under the "General" tab click "Show Previews and Filters"
• Under the "View" tab, make sure "Always show icons, never
• thumbnails" is UNCHECKED. I also CHECKED "Display file icon on
• thumbnails", for non-image files.
• Click "Apply" then "OK".Hope this helps
