Windows 7 - Cannot get thumbnails for some video files. |

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 |
Cannot get thumbnails for some video files.
Running Windows 7 Pro X64.
Some *.avi files show thumbnails but others show an icon.
Folder view options the same for all sub-folders in the main video folder.
"Always show icons, never thumbnails" is unchecked.
Switching that setting causes a change in some folders but not in others.
Not a train smash, just annoying.
Would welcome any tips.

IMHO it's normal behaviour. When I glance through video thumbnails on Windows 7 machines it's invariably so. Depends not solely upon the file format, but appears to be linked to resolution/compression. I'm not sure I would let it be an issue personally. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine

That is the only one that shows up in my installed programs list.
Is there some way to check further? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-MA785GMT-UD2H
