thumbnail display problem in Vista

In folders containing my jpeg photo's some files show as a thumbnail image of
the photo but some just show a generic icon. I cannot understand why jpeg
files in the same folder would display differently or how I can change them
so they all show a thumbnail of the actual photo. I am using vista 32bit. Any
advise would be most welcome

Thanks

Set the Control Panel/Folder Options to show hidden files, then delete the
'Thumbs.db' file in that folder, and refresh.

I rarely see this "problem". Usually after several hours of seriously
intensive work on my part, but its nothing that can't be solved.

When viewing a folder that exhibits these symptoms, just press the <F5>
key on your keyboard to Refresh the current view. That should fix it.

Hi Lou,

Try refreshing the window (F5) first.

If that does not help, then you can also use Disk Cleanup to clean out
the Thumbnail cache to reset them and have Vista reload them.

I keep seeing this problem and I didn't know anyone couldn't fix it. It's easy and you can help others.
1.Go to the picture file with problem.
2.Click tools and then Folder Options.
3.At the tab "General" put the bullet to windows classic folders. And put bullet in open each folder in the same window. Do not touch set default or the mess will be back.
Click on the views button and keep clicking till the pictures get large enough.
(if tools isn't there then click on organize go to layout and toggle the menu bar and it will be on top)
You can't break it, you can't make it worse than it is -uh yes you can =system restore ...all those things up on top do something it's more fun to find it than using the computer. Hope this helps and remeber have fun, I don't know how it reset but I do know my A.I. is creepy.

I have this same problem but none of the fixes listed have helped. Do
you have any other suggestions on what I can do to fix this issue? My
computer worked fine for the first month and then as I added more images
from my camera, it stopped working. I can view my images under Windows
Photo Gallery or if I use the USB cord from my camera. But any images
that are saved on my computer will not show up. The images don't show up
when I insert my SD card as well... The SD card works fine on my camera
and another laptop.

I called Dell Support and they said it's an issue with how I am saving
the image from my camera. I don't want to pay the $240 to fix this nor
do I want to do a system restore.

When I hit F5, the images flash for a second and then go back to the
generic jpeg image icon.

Please help! Thank you!!!

Run system in safe mode and navigate to folder:

*C:\Users\<your account>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer*

and there you'll find 6 *.db files ->remove them + restart.
