Hello everyone:

I am having a problem viewing thumbnail images of jpeg files stored on
a network drive using Vista Home Premium.

I have a drive (p:) mapped to a network share on my Windows Home
Server. This share contains many JPEG images from my digital camera,
along with many subfolders. When I view the files in explorer, I am
able to see a thumbnail view of the files for a few seconds, then they
all disappear and are replaced with the generic jpeg icon.

-Viewing jpeg images on a local hard disk does not cause this problem,
i can see the thumbnails just fine. It only affects network folders/
shares.

-I have cleaned out the vista thumbnail cache using disk cleanup.
This did not solve the problem.

-I have refreshed the view, reset the view, changed the folder
properties, etc. This did not solve the problem.

-I have another machine running Vista x64 Ultimate, and that has no
problems at all viewing the same share and seeing thumbnail images.

-If I do a search within the network shares, the results are viewable
as thumbnails with no problems.

-The computer with this issue is a VAIO laptop. It has had this
problem since I opened the box, so system restore to a known-good
config is not possible.

I have googled this issue extensively, and have found no solutions
either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

I am experiencing a similar issue but using Vista Business Ultimate
and Windows Server 2003. Changing settings and clearing file caches
does not affect the issue.
