Guest HLNewbie@yahoo.com Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 My Windows ME wont show thumbnails in Explorer anymore after installing an MPEG to WMV converter for YouTube. Either SoftPepper, Aglare, Apex, or SmartSoft seems to be the culprit, I'm not sure which one. I tried uninstalling them all, no luck. I tried the regsvr32 shimgvw.dll, regsvr32 thumbvw.dll etc fixes, none of them worked. Returns error message: LoadLibrary("shimgvw.dll") failed GetLastError returns 0x0000001f. Any suggestions? Thanks.

None of them worked. There is some good stuff in there though, I'm definitely going to bookmark that link for future reference. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. Happy holidays guys.
Guest Heirloom Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Re: Thumbnail view doesn't work anymore - Win ME None of them worked>>> Did you try the System Restore to a point before the thumbnails quit???? This is reversible, so, no harm in trying.
