Hi, recently when I browse folders in windows explorer and in particular, folders with video clips in them, thumbnails of the video clips no longer appear.

What I mean is, normally when you look in the folder and the icons are set to view thumbnails, you see an image of a single frame from the video as the icon/thumbnail, but for some reason that randomly stopped and now the icons dont show any image so it's a bit annoying really.

I think it started ever since i installed the k-lite codec pack, but i uninstalled them and it didn't change anything. I'm sure there's an easy fix for this so help would be appreciated

When you click View is Thumbnails checked off?

thats what im saying

thumbnails are checked but it doesnt show any images

Try switching to list then switching back.

i've tried all that

Go to Start/Run and type in:

regsvr32 /i shell32

Click OK.

Restart your computer.

That didn't work!

If you have a Restore point prior to the problem that might do it.

If i do a system restore can i go back to where i am now?

There is an option to "Undo last restore" if that is what you mean.

If a Restore corrects the problem then you would not want to undo it.

A Restore will not affect data but will remove any programs installed in the interim.

It basically resets the registry to the point chosen.
