photo previewing

[daskalos]

Hello. I run in win 7 home premium 64 and i have one question.Why can't i see the preview of a photo. I also have another laptop with win xp and there, if you select large icons, you can see them without opening the file (in small icons ). I have tryied 3 programmes ( windows live photo gallery, hp media smart photo programme and nero media hub ) and i have iven selected the option " very large icons " but the only thing i see is the pic of a flower (in windows live ) , a pic of a camera ( in hp... ) e.t.c. What can i do in order to be able to see the photo without having to open it first. ( I forgot to mention that i have also used a programme from microsoft that runs and checks your system for such problemes, it cleans things in registry, from the official site but still nothing)

Hi, welcome to the forums

You may want to try the following...

1, Click Start > Default Programs
2, Click 'Set Default Programs'
3, Click the program you use for imaging and select 'Set this program as default'

Have a look at this Tutorial, and ensure that the option Always show icons, never thumbnails is unchecked.
