Right click on one of your photos and open with something else that will give you the picture you want to view.

I think the OP means he wants to see a thumbnail view like the other files shown in the screenshot. The fefault viewer for a PSP file should be Paint Shop.

If my post above is correct and that is what ou want I have found the foloowing possible solution:
This might be an issue with the icon cache on the computer; I would suggest that you rebuild the icon cache which might fix the issue.
Rebuilding the Icon Cache Database
1. Close all folder windows that are currently open.
2. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
3. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
4. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
5. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
6. Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
7. In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
EXIT
8. In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…)
9. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.

Haven't tried it but it makes sens and just might solve your problem!
Let us know how you get on.

Hi ya

I'm sorry not very good with trying to explain what i mean, not very good with doing some things on my laptop, having enough trouble trying to find out all my system specs don't no where to look for everything,,,,,,,,,,,sorry again

I can open with paintshop prox and 9 but i can't view them in my windows floder that i keep them in i can only view them all if i open paintshop,

I get what to do up until i get to this step, what is the command prompt window,

CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a

Hi Anita
Nice to have you back in the UK
When you click the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
Then a window with a black screen will open and you type the given line at the flashing curser and press Enter. The do the same with the second line.
Then complete the rest of the guide.
BTW I have just downloaded the Trial version of Corel Photoshop Pro x3. I have created a PSP file and that shows a thumbnail OK.
You might find it easier to re-install the program!

 

[twilightdelight]

well that command prompt is very confussing as i don't no what i am meant to put in there is it just step 7 that i have to put in, but i'm having problems trying to type in after the cursor where is flashes, it won't let me type anything in

I have uninstalled and reinstalled paintshop pro x loads of times trying to sort this out and it don't make any diffence at all.......

thanks for all your help, yeah it is nice to be back in the uk

Am shutting down for the evening now, I hear the call of the whisky bottle! Will be back tomorrow later in the morning. Do you use Skype? If so I can help you via that if you wish My Skype Name is Mitchell70 if you wish to contact me.

You will need to start again if you have rebooted since you got stuck last time. When you get to the difficult bit go to the Start Button and in the search box type cmd. That will open a small window at the top of which you will see cmd.exe. Double click that and the following window will open.
View attachment 90340
The mouse will not work in this screen but the keybord will. Just type the following. You can't select copy and paste it doesn't work in this screen, you must type:
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
make sure you get the spaces in. If you need to go back after a mistake use the arrow keys. When you have typed it press ENTER on your keyboard. Then at the end of the line that apears type:
DEL IconCache.db /a
Then ENTER again. Then at the end of that line type EXIT and then ENTER.
Then carry out the last bit of the guide.
Lets hope that works.

What I have noticed is that your original screenshot does not open in a full image but i can just make out the text on the thumbnail. It looks as if some of your PSP files show a thumbnail and some show an icon. Is this correct?
But I think I might be getting near the answer to this. The files that do not show the thumnail seem to be older version of PSP.
Try this:
Open one of the files in question in PSP and save it with the same name. You should get the "Shall you over write the old file. Say Yes.
Then reopen the folder containing the file and see if you can see the thumbnail!

I would delete the Thumbnails cache through Disk Cleanup, delete the IconCache.db and finally re-start the PC.

 

[froglyn]

deleting thumbnail and icon cache did nothing...still see same in my folders...
thx for trying to find an answer for me...it's very frustrating as i do not want to have to view my folders thru psp

 

[mitchell65]

Your screenshot is not terribly helpful as it doesn't display any file extensions. Also it is different to the original screenshot that you posted where some files were shown as icons and others as thumbnails. Try going to "Detail" view and if file extensions are not shown go to Tools, Folder Options, View, then scroll down and check the "Show know file extensions" click Apply then OK. When the file extensions appear in WE do another screenshot!

You wont have to. If necessary download the excellent free view Irfanview. You will be able to view your files in thumbnails of Full Size. Google it!
