My Documents preview window

[Guest]

When previewing pdf or scanned jpeg files in the "preview" window (underneath
details) in the My Documents folder, I've been having a problem. The preview
is fuzzy with blue splotches. It expands (just a little) beyond the rectangle
frame and isn't as clear as it use to be. If I move the file to another
folder its preview looks fine, for awhile. If I change the icon view to
thumbnails, and then go back to list view, the previews on the new folder are
no longer clear, but fuzzy with the blue splotches.

This is driving me crazy, please help.

Hi,

Does deleting the file "Thumbs.db" (hidden, by default) help?

Thanks, it does clear the problem up. I can replicate the problem by
switching the view to thumbs and then returning to tiles or icons...but at
least now I know how to fix it.
