HI,

I have a Dimension 5150 that I bought for editing my HD videos and
digital photos for my website. It's out of warranty (sat in a box
while I moved, then didn't get set up for a long time), so I thought
I'd just ask this group about the one problem it has.

It will not display thumbnails properly. In a folder of images, or
on the desktop, it will not display the thumbnail in anything but the
lowest resolution (looks like a 1Kb bitmap image, smaller than a
normal thumbnail). It will also not put the thumbnails into normal
"row order". In other words, instead of the folder showing 6 or 8
thumnails across, it will show one, then on the next row down, another
(always diagonally below, not directly below the one above), and after
4-6 rows of one thumbnail, then it will show multiple thumbnails, but
still not properly.

I was wondering if this was a Windows XP problem, or a graphics
card problem (integrated card, I believe). It doesn't seem to affect
anything but the thumbnails.

Now, when I burn a disk of images, I get the little thing that
comes up saying "thumbs is a program...yadda yadda yadda", so I was
wondering if I could do something to fix the thumbnail display on the
PC. Anyone have any idea?

It's just very annoying to have them display in such low
resolution.

Maybe the "yadda yadda yadda" stuff gives evidence to all or part of
your problem.

Does Dell have it's own specialized way/program for displaying
thumbnails perhaps?
