I have installed microsoft vista in my computer...
My problem is ....when i go to the photo folder...and select view
thumbnail...it shows same picture as thumbnail for all pictures.
I tried a lot to find a reason .But couldn't find it
please anyone can guide me
It is the same answer for 90% of Vista problems. Windows is basically
dumb. If you seem the same image, that usually means it is defaulting
to a thumbnail, like the Photoshop icon, the subject of another
thread. Why Windows is this dumb remains a mystery. That's almost like
buying a new car and the front right wheel keeps falling off. You take
it back to the dealer, and all they do is shrug their shoulders and
say, it isn't suppose to do that, but never actually fix it. Of course
such a company would go out of business quickly. Not so with Microsoft
since they have a virtual lock on PC operating systems so things may
be broke and remain broke, buy hey, don't you just love Aero?
Personally, I would LOVE a version of Windows that had zero new
features but actually addressed and FIXED all the issues that were
part of Windows for decades, with many remaining. I won't hold my
breath waiting. It is far simpler to add more bloated code and new
"features" nobody really wanted then it is to debug and actually FIX
bugs that annoy and drive customers crazy.
For example I have said in the past Windows is capable of opening and
playing some MPEG files, however it doesn't seem possible for it to
open the same file to create a thumbnail, which for a video will
usually be the first frame of a video. Again, this makes little sense
since Windows already proved it can open the file by playing it in
Media Player, yet Explorer often stumbles, but that is Windows' long
history of half-ass programming, stamped "approved" by a endless
parade of clueless beta testers that couldn't find their way out of a
paper bag placed over their head.
The solution is ignore, disable or turn off many of the built-in
"features" of Windows and substitute some third party applications
that work better. Of course we shouldn't have to do that, but that is
the reality of the situation and sadly Microsoft never seems concerned
enough to fix these annoying problems. That's why in part Microsoft is
known as a arrogant, sometimes bullying company. It knows there are
issues, sometimes major ones, and they just ship the product anyway
with some nebulous promise to fix it later which often never happens
and we as consumers keep saying, oh, alright. So I guess at least at
some level we have ourselves to blame because we keep buying software
we know was buggy in the past, hoping the latest version won't be as
bad.
