Guest smitchellh@gmail.com Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Hello. I had a couple hundred pictures in My Pictures and my wife decided to put them all into folders. I can see the files in the folders, but all of them indicate 'preview not available' everytime I try to open them. Please help. Thank you!

Click Start>Run, type: REGSVR32 WEBVW.DLL and click OK. If that does not help, there is a thumbnail view repair file from MVP Doug Knox on his site: http://www.dougknox.com, just go to Utility in the left column menu, then look for "Repair image preview and thumbnail view in Windows Explorer" in the right-column.

I could not use the Doug Knox repair as there is a warning it is not XP friendly. Thanks again for trying!
Guest Alan Edwards Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Re: Preview not available in My Pictures As you are posting in an ME group, "XP friendly" is not relevant. If you have XP, then please post to an XP group. It is dangerous to post to a group for another operating system without mentioning your O/S. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.htm On Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:35:11 -0700, in microsoft.public.windowsme.general, smitchellh@gmail.com wrote: >Thanks for the suggestions.
