Windows explorer can't preview any files except images
I have searched the web and forum and cannot find a solution.
I have two laptops and they almost simultaneously have this problem, they can just preview images (jpg or png or other format) but cannot preview PDF, WORD, PPT OR TXT in windows explorer preview pane. I don't know what happened to them, I guess i've updated both of the system and I have no idea which patch would cause this problem. BTW, they actually work properly before.
When I chose one file, the right pane (preview pane) showed totally blank but not any words like "no preview available" or "error". And when I double click the preview pane (the blank), I can open the file I chose. It just like the file was shown there and I cannot see it at all. But i can preview the pictures in the preview pane!!
This is really inconvenient because I have so many PDF files with similar titles. I do need the preview function.
I've checked the Windows Registry, and I'm sure I have PDF, TXT, WORD, and PPT previewers...They just did not work...
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
