I'm not sure what cause the problem, but now I cannot
view Thumbnails and Filmstrip view (mainly graphic file
such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif) in the Window Explorer.But I
can see thumbnails view which are .mpg and .psd. Greatly
appreciate if anyone can help.
==================
Try this, maybe it will restore the option:
go to...Start / Run and type:
"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)
Click...OK.
A dialog box should report the following:
"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
