• Cannot view thumbnails by using the detailed view

  I'm unable to view thumbnails in windows Explorer while I'm using detailed view.  I can't see them when they are Extra Large.  I don't see their small, not in the list, not in an environment... just to Extra Large.  I hate them Extra Large.  I want to display in the detail view.

  That's what I've done so far:

  Under Folder Options / I "Unchecked" view on the "always show icons never thumbnails".  It does not work.

  I go through TONS of problems with thumbnails in the forums, but couldn't find a solution to my problem.

  I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  I never had a problem with thumbnails under Windows XP.  Now I'm fighting and I want to show my nail of the thumb again.

  I don't know what I can do.  I must be missing something in the settings; But what?

  Can anyone help?

  Hi sunrize1230,
   
   
  Have you changed the settings of the Visual effect as well?
  
  First of all I suggest you open the Visual effects settings.
  
  This is how you do it:
   
  1, click Start
   
  2. open the control panel (all items vew) and click the tools and Information on performance.
   
  (A) click the link advanced tools in the blue left pane.
  (B) click on adjust them the appearance and performance of Windows liaison, then close this window later.
   
  4. you will then see the Visual effects settings to select.
   
  5. check 'Show thumbnails instead of icons'
   
  6. click on apply and then ok
  
  If this does not work, create a new user account and check.
  Reference:

  If it works fine in the new user account, set the damaged user account.

• Cannot view thumbnails in Explorer, Windows 8

  I can't see the thumbnails in Explorer, Windows 8, I have checked the settings and they are correct, is there a patch similar to windows 7?

  I did, but still does not... ple help me, I wanaa reall read pdf

  TX

  VikashVivek,

  The issue/original post as well as answers related to the re-establishment of the feature to display thumbnails of files instead of file icons.  The answers above solve this 'problem '.

  Your post implies that you cannot view the pdf files.  Files with extension '.pdf' are opened by Adobe Reader.  If your problem is that you can't open the pdf files, make sure that install you Adobe Reader.  Most of the websites have links with Adobe.

  If Adobe Reader is installed and when you view a list of (or link to) pdf files do not see the icon of Adobe or the thumbnail, try the five steps below.

  If you know Adobe Reader is installed, but cannot open a pdf file by double-clicking on the name of the file, try the five steps below.

  1. right click on a pdf file

  2. you should see a dialog box with a bunch of options

  3 move the mouse down to 'Open with' and click on it

  4. There will be an option like this 'always open with' box

  5. move the pointer to the Adobe Reader icon and click on it

  If, in step 5, you don't see Adobe Reader as an option, then Adobe Reader is not a saved application.  In this case, you will need to install or reinstall.

  There is another possibility.  When you try to open a pdf file, if you get a message from Windows saying: you are not allowed to open the file (location), you will need to contact the owner of the system.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot display HTML thumbnails in the Explorer of Windows VISTA

  I used to be able to view thumbnails of html in XP, but since I bought a computer with VISTA on it, now I just get the big E, Solution Explorer icon. I have 300 files and I don't want to have to click through them to find the one I want.  Each file has a photo on the page, so it was easy to identify visually.

  How can I restore this ability without having to remove VISTA and go back to XP?

  Thanks for your help!

• Cannot display thumbnails of the emf

  In my work, I got more 30 000 files to emf, wmf and svg formats. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP and the ability to see thumbnails of the metafiles in windows has disappeared.

  It seems that this is due to a security problem, but is it possible to turn on their return. Absolutely, I rely on them for my work. I tried to work with the image viewers. But really need integration with windows I have all my other systems, like update to our VPN through windows Explorer.

  Is it possible to turn on thumbnails of metafile, even being fully aware of the security risks.
  Or y at - it of the development tools that will help the situation. Or is the only way to go back to Windows XP?

  Thank you very much
  Cate

  Hi Cate Detheridge,

  WMF and EMF files are vector based, so there is really no image allowing to make a thumbnail of. A basic vector image is nothing more than a whole mathematical instructions to redo a few image, similar to the files MIDI are on the audio side don't contain any of the waveforms.

  You can of course convert these EMF (Enhanced Meta File) files in a file based raster chart that should generate a thumbnail.

  Windows 7 does not generate thumbnails for these vector files based.

  However, there are several non-Microsoft that would convert and generate thumbnails for these file types, you can use your favorite search engine and download these programs and check.

  Can someone help me with this one major annoyance I have with Vista?

• Cannot view or change the settings of backup - error Code 0 x 80070422

  I am able to run a backup using the existing settings/settings I put when my system was new two years ago.  I just ran a backup and finished without any problems.  But when I click on "Change settings" to view the settings, I get the error code 0 x 80070422.  Error message States "the backup application could not start due to an internal error" followed by "the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.

  I already read many posts on this site about this error and how to correct.  I followed the suggested steps to fix the problem, but the error persists. =(

  Specifically, I checked that the following Services are enabled.

  -"Remote Procedure Call" (RPCSS) must be active, Automatic.

  'COM + Event System"(EventSystem) must be active, Manual.

  -'System Event Notification Service"(SENSE) must be active, Automatic.

  -"Volume Shadow Copy" (VSS) must be active, Manual.

  'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider' (SWPRV) must be active, Manual.

  I also ran an SFC scan and received the following confirmation at the end-

  "Windows resource protection has not found any breach of integrity."

  Any suggestions on the next steps, I could try to fix this? 

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Please provide detailed information on this issue and I appreciate your valuable troubleshooting efforts toward the resolution of the problem.

  However, we are still missing about two or three services so that this error happens when the necessary services are disabled.

  Method 1: Please check these services.

  • Block level backup engine - active - repair manuals
  • -Active - backup manual Windows

  If the settings above does not work, you can try to adjust Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) on Automatic and check if that helps. Then change it back to Manual after verification.

  Once you make changes according to the above specifications, you can try a backup and check to see if that solves the problem.

  If the problem persists, follow the next method.

  Method 2: Disable the antivirus.

  You can also try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and try to create a backup and check if it works. If you are able to create a backup, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re-enable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Reference:

  Set up or change automatic backup settings

  Back up your programs, files and system settings

  Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

• The computers on the LAN has disappeared from the Explorer on Win7 machine... other devices always there

  Small inter-office network with 7 machines, no server. Two other XP, WIN7 machines. All have already appeared on my workstation running WIN7-65. Today, I noticed that only the share on my workstation presents in the in Windows Explorer. Printers, scanner, fax, always there.

  I can connect through ftp, http and e-mail address of the computer that holds these programs and can ping all the machines successfully. But mounted network drives does not connect and, as I said, none of the other computers show in Explorer.

  I had problems with Windows Virtual PC - would install not the integration features. So I deleted and reinstalled. Then it loads the integration... features for a few days... now won't again. I also installed VMware with XP virtual PC. I disabled virtual machine network maps to see if there was any change. No change.

  I don't know when the computers on the LAN disappeared, because I had no reason to seek. I discovered that they were gone when a backup program could not set up a share on one of them.

  Anyone has any ideas, what can happen?

  Hello

  I suggest that you enable network discovery. Click on start-> Control Panel-> network and sharing Center, click on change settings for sharing advanced. Activate the option.

  If the problem persists, try to access another computer by entering \\computername in the box to start the search. Let us know if it works properly

  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
