When I receive e-mail that contains thumbnail graphics of album covers, they do not display. All I get is graphics frame with small box inside of red square, blue triangle and green circle.
View 4 RepliesI have done everything possible under my control...Set WMP11 as my default player..uninstalled programs that i thought might be interfering with WMP11 and uninstalled and reinstalled my anti virus/firewall. I cannot uninstall WMP11 off my comp because im on Vista (32bit) and i really dont wanna system restore.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem, for some reason when im playing games such as cod4 or gta4 or something. Il be playing fine for quite a long time, certainly a few hours but then randomly the screen will just stop, and the whole computer will freeze.
I noticed that on the frozen screen small parts of it had small purple lines going round them.
Well the only way to get out of this is to do a hard boot and start up my pc again.
Im wondering why this happens as i have all up to date drivers and my pc easily meets the requirements to play the games im playing.
i open a picture the display around the photo and picture have a noticeable yellow hue. All my drivers are updated, no conflicts. I'm running two displays and occasionally one of my displays is noticeably brighter than the other also. Not sure if its my graphics card acting up, driver issues, or an inherent vista FLAW.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn 2001 I bought a stand alone CD recorder to transfer my vinyl collection. I am now in the process of ripping the resultant CDs and I thought this might be a good time to correct some of my early recording mistakes - the most common being that I forgot to manually increment track numbers. Is it possible to split a single WMA track into the original component tracks and, if so, how do I proceed?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of loose mp3s (i.e. not the entire albums, just a few tracks from particular albums) grouped into folders based on genre. They have blank album tags. How can I prevent WMP11 from assigning album tags to these mp3 and downloading album art. I have every possible check box involved in media updating unchecked. Among my 20 or so genre folders, WMP only seems to modify the files in a few of the folders. The artist and title tags are correct so it looks like WMP is trying to add missing information. Is there a registry hack that essentially turns off the ability of WMP to do any file modification? I've tried deleting the database and rescanning the library. My only option right now is to simply not start WMP.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen i upgraded my windows xp to vista about 5 days ago it somehow screwed up my computer. My graphics are so bad that i can't play simple games and i know that my graphics card used to work perfectly. I just need to know if it is vista that has changed my graphics card and if it did how can i fix it. Also for Hardware Acceleration, i can not turn it on because i do not have the troubleshoot option in my display settings. My nero will not burn any dvd disc's due to that.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIm having trouble with my thumbnail previews. I have tried everything mentioned on this forum (clearing/rebuilding thumbnail cache, turned on thumbnail preview, checked/unchecked what I needed to). Ive done this numerous times and yet i still cannot preview thumbnails. Whether it be jpegs, gifs, avis, wmvs etc. I also noticed that my files do not end in .jpg, .gif, .avi when trying to view as thumbnails.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't really know how long ago this problem started I didn't really notice it at first but the previews for alt tabbing between programs along with the previews when hovering over the minimized program show up like the alt tabbing in Windows XP. Also my Windows key-tab does not work. Any ideas to what could be causing this? I checked my settings and they seem to be the same as when the previews where working. Is there some setting i could have accidental changed?
View 4 Replies View Relatednot sure if thumbnail preview is the right term. - wanted to ask about why or how i might be able to fix ....... scenario: when i open a folder....
1. if its full of pdf files (ex.: e-books) i dont see the preview / covers of the e-books any more as before - just the foxit icon
2. if the folder is full of videos (ex: movies) i dont see a small clip of a scene as before now i only see my VLC Player icon. (the big orange cone) was there some setting that i might changed, not realizing? new things that ive done lately:
.....have tried like crazy to better boot time by following the guide at Black Viper
.....at this moment im using the Vista Basic Theme (no aero). really dont care much for the thumbnail previews on taskbar. have checked: when i open a folder and click on organize & select folder and search options under view tab - the option "always show icons, never thumbnails" is NOT checked. ???? have also tried clearing the thumbnail cache by deleting thumbnails under disk cleanup????
I'm having some trouble with the thumbnail images of my videos. Some of the thumbnails look like a filmstrip with a random scene from the movies while some are just default thumbnails. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get all my videos look like the filmstrip thumbnail? It looks rather messy when some files have the default while others are scenes from the video.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of videos and the thumbnails are not showing a preview of the video, but instead show an icon (see "Attachment 1"). I already tried the following:
1. Deleted Thumbnail cache via Disk Cleanup.
2. Verified that "Show thumbnails instead of icons" was checked via Visual Effects in Performance Options.
3. Verified that "Always show icons, never thumbnails" was NOT checked via Folder Options.
4. I also heard that this happens when the "K-Lite Codec Pack" is on the computer. So I uninstalled this (to no avail) and reinstalled it (again nothing).
The preview does not appear for any WMV or AVI files. All pictures and other videos are perfect (that I know of).
I am having exactly the same problem as Thumbnail problem. Computer not generating them or something. - I have done all the things list here and I still cannot see any preview icons for any files or folders. Unless I use the list view which doesnt show previews anyway for picture or movie files. I have done a repair of Vista and that didnt fix the problem. I really dont want to start from scratch. I also cannot change my desktop image, and any file I try to upload wont change it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been looking everywhere and can't seem to find an answer to why some of my thumbnails are blank or fuzzy. For Example: On my Desktop it will say the folder name then above it a transparent square. If I go into a folder I am able to see tile previews but when I switch to thumbnail mode, they get fuzzy.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of photographs on my Vista computer. When I try to find a photograph ina folder the icon does not show me what the photograph looks like. It is just a generic mountain and lake scene for every picture. How can I turn on the actual picture to be depicted in the icon of the file?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have ended up with damaged and/or destroyed JPEG images due to the thumbnail icon feature and/or Photo Gallery. The condition can be created as follows:
1. Browse to a folder containing JPEG images.
2. Do nothing... as Vista generates the thumbnails, it struggles, and only "half" of it is created (see below).
3. When the image is opened, it is corrupted.
My understanding is that generating a thumbnail should not alter the original image in anyway. However, a thumbnail that was generated fine once before for an image that was fine once before.... yields something like this, which was formerly a perfect picture of my wiener dog's nose Not sure why this is happening. I've run all sorts of hard drive diagnostics (even though this problem affects files I view on flash drives etc. also), virus/spyware scanners (everything clean), and yet nothing has been found to explain this phenomenon................
In XP, I could go to any of my picture folders and the thumbnail was instantly viewable, but Vista seems to have a bit of lag displaying them. When scrolling down a folder with alot of pics, it seems to be generating thumbnails as it goes along. Is there a way to increase the cache size so it behaves like XP?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am not certain that this can be done in vista, but... Whenever I open a folder containing pictures, the picture files appear as generic icons and don't show their thumbnail. How can I get my picture files to show as thumbnails? Also, I use several picture editors (Picasa, Fastone, Elements 4, etc). Can I get them all to appear in "Open with" recommended section. When I right click on a picture file and select open with, I get recommended and other programs. I guess, now that I have fiddled with this a little, that what I really want to be able to do is to place the programs I want into the recommended section and remove those that I don't want there (like put them into the Other Programs section. May I assume that once I know how to do this (if it is possible), that whenever I get an "open with," I should be able to customize it?
