Do you run any programs like ccleaner, or any other kind of system cleaning program. They tend to remove thumbnail caches.

yeah i use ccleaner

Uncheck the box that says Thumbnail Cache and this should resolve your issue

thanx will give it a go

Can you help with my other problem?

umm, that one im not really sure about.
click the start icon
type cmd.exe right click it and run as admin
once that opens type sfc -scannow

^^ will check for system file errors.

There's a typo in your post, it should be;

sfc /scannow

Of course, I have never made a typo...what's all that noise, is someone laughing?

umm it will run with - or / I personally prefer - as its more natural for me to type.

I began using computers back in the DOS days and always used "/" as a switch, so it is second nature for me. I never tried using anything else, thus, my thought you made a typo.
