PLEASE HELP! Problem displaying thumbnails

[Guest]

Hi, thanks for the help to those that respond... i used to be
able to open my
picture folders within windows explorer and it would show my thumbnails...
now it just shows the blank icon of the picture program that came with my
camera (it has been working fine with this program before)... i can click on
view, thumbnails all i want, but the pic never shows up... i click on view as
slide show and nothing happens... what is going on!?!?!?!?!?!?!? please
help...

I'm going nuts trying to figure this out... thinking about reinstalling
windows xp... this sucks... please 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"

Hi John, this did NOT work. It said the module could not be found. I
previously posted this msg, it is on page 6. Here is our exchange after i
told you the module could not be found:

I did type the command exactly as it was supposed to be, yet the same error
pops up. I did a search for the file you said to search for, and it was
found at this location: C:\windows\system32

Also, the same error popped up again in regards to the start/run you
recommended below.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch,
D

===========================================
Did you type the command or copy/paste? Is it
possible that you made a typo? (it must be exact)

If the command was correct, try searching your
HD for: "shimgvw.dll" (without the quotes).
If you find the file...post the location.

Also try...

go to...Start / Run and type (or copy/paste):

"regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and %)

Sorry, I did not recall the previous messages.

I don't know the solution to your problem. There's
a possibility that you have a corrupted User Account
but that's just a guess.

Good luck.
