13613 2001-06-04 10:09:00 Hi,
I've recently done some cleaning up & deleting of temp files & other bits & pieces that I don't use anymore & don't know what I've done, but can no longer see thumbnail images in files that are scanned photos or word documents or saved web pages - I've tried turninf off & on the view as web page option in folders but doesn't help.
Can you help me please.
THANK YOU

13615 2001-06-04 11:45:00 Hi John, I will give the scandisk problem some thought, in the meantime cribbing from More Windows 98 Secrets, there are two suggested methods of restoring previews and thumbnails:
Method 1. Click Start, Run. Then type: regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll and press Enter.

Note there is a space between 32 and /i and between /i and shdoccvw.dll

If that doesnt work, Method 2.
Click Start, Run.
Then type: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and press Enter.
Click Start, Shut Down. Mark the Restart option button, and click OK.
Note there is a space between regsrv32 and actxprxy.dll

I have no idea whether these fixes will work in your case but they come from a solidly reliable source.
Cheers
