No Thumbnails for movies anymore...

[streetster]

Hey Guys,

I have a folder in which most of the movies (all xvid/divx avi files) have the thumbnail, but a couple (recently aquired) which just have a 'avi' icon, rather than a thumbnail..
i've tried right-clicking and selecting 'refresh thumbnail' but it doesnt do anything...

I've got k-lite codec pack installed, but ive had that a while, im not sure if ive installed anything that has buggered it up (possibly xvid4psp or a 3gp video converter) but i was wondering if there is a quick fix?

[adam1701]

do you have the xvid codex installed?

Its the WOW factor (Wonder of Windows)... I had a similar thing with ordinary thumbnails - they just didn't appear. I Googled for a fix (can't remember what it was) but try googling with

windows no thumbnails

or

windows no avi thumbnails

and you might come up witth something.

solved it.

i enabled explorer.exe within ffdshow, and voila ive got my thumbnails back
