Preview Jpeg Images In Folder

[Lollies]

This is somewhat of a stupid question but I can not find the answer to it anywhere. when looking at images while in a folder such as pictures, none of the images are preview able. I have several jpeg images but they all have the default images for the thumbnails, as if it is not recognized. Is there anyway to change thing?

Hi Lollies, have you tried increasing the thumbnail size? on mine, anything above large icon will show a preview, also, if you have alot of pictures, it may take a couple of minutes for the prieviews to load

 

[Lollies]

Even at Extra large it still shows the default beach picture.

Anyone? It works fine on my desktop but not on my (new) yet sh!teh Hp Laptop.

sorry lollies i completely forgot about this thread try this: open an elevated command prompt (right click, run as administrator) and type sfc /scannow see if it finds anything

 

[Lollies]

No worries, I just realized that my comp has the pics as "JPEG" images but on my laptop for whatever reason they are "JPG" images? :sarc:

 

[severedsolo]

i dont see that would make a difference to be honest, its the same thing pretty much

 

[Lollies]

The scan is still running but besides that I have found nothing that would make it so the images were not visible as thumbnails.

just a thought, how long have you had windows 7 installed for? and how long ago did this problem start?

also: try optimising the folder for pictures, (right click your pictures folder then click properties,) iv attached a screen to show what i mean

I unfortunately do not know when it started, I was sitting in class today and just kinda paused for a minute and realized none of the pictures were visible as thumbnails. I had Windows 7 on my laptop for a longer period of time than my desktop. So maybe like little after December?

The properties box is different compared to yours but its set to pictures. Here is what mine looks like:

I dono what else would make the thumbnails show a default picture. The scan finish, it said it corrected some files but nothing else.

Preview set to default jpegs?

right, another idea in the pictures folder, hit the Alt key, then click tools>folder options>view check that "always show icons never thumbnails" is unchecked

I was haveing this same issue its been driving me crazy since when i got my laptop it did work anyways i figured it out . In the advanced folder options make sure to uncheck the checkbox that says always show icons never show thumbnails. If this option is checked you wont be able to get your preview icons to work no matter what. Thanks for the help and support even though it didnt help me with my issue this forum lead me to find the solution which is why im returning the favor

also in order to get to the folder options in advance right click the desktop click personalize in the pop up and then on the file menu bar click tools folder options then the view tab and its the first check box under the subcategory files and folders uncheck the box and press apply and you will notice the difference immediately
