>Running XP Pro and just got some BMP and GIF files from someone. They only display an icon image (all the same) in the Exploring window (My Computer) and not a thumbnail of the actual image. I have changed the view settings, but they always display with the same generic image.
I have somehow never gotten used to the Windows thumbnails. I use IrfanView -
www.irfanview.com - an excellent freeware image viewer. I recommend you give it a try.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
