View thumbnail folder displays an icon instead of photo for extention flv (VLC media file). until yesterday, it was working fine.

miniature display of folder files no picture would present flv and avi extensions.  MWV (windows media file) is ok.  VLC files were ok until yesterday.  I reinstalled VLC media player - earlier version too.  I also uninstalled IE 8 automatic update - KB976749 - window update put back. Ofcause, I changed many times display options (list, thumbnail,...).  I can read files with ok VLC, just that I can't see the image.

  • Windows 7, I get icons instead of photos on the photos

    I have two programs 'Cricut Design Studio' and "4 D embroidery system" both of which show the program icon to the thumbnail instead of the thumbnail image itself.  I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP support yesterday (since my copy of Windows 7 is an OEM product) - they were unable to correct the problem.  I encounter this same problem on my new desk that has Windows 7 on it.  I tried all the usual bugs - eg. in folder options always unchecking "show icons not thumbnails" and both checking and unchecking "Display the file on the photos icon" - also in the control panel under advanced system, system, Advanced tab settings, settings of Preformance, make sure the 'show thumbnails instead of icons' is checked.
    I have XP on my old desktop computer - program icons display the photos on the thumbnails correctly on this computer.
    I can load these files on a USB stick, plug this jump in my Windows 7, and the files on the jump show thumbnails correctly.  If I transfer the files on computers with Windows 7 on them, they become icons of the program (instead of photos of the file).  In Windows 7, I have all the updates, and both programs I can't see pictures on the thumbnails have the latest updates also and are fully compatible with Windows 7.
    It is a real problem for me because I work with these files (more than 10,000 of them) every day.  Many file names are numbers only, so without the pictures, I can't say which file to open.  Help, please!

    The size of the icon file must be medium or large for the thumbnails to display. Small icons won't show generic thumbnail of the thw.

    There must be also installed codecs to generate thumbnails for file types.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can set the home screen to display all icons and don't go into the Favorites, Media, downloads etc.?

    I just got a Bold 9780 and that's fine except that when I try to access the icon I want, I keep accidentally swipe the screen in a different position, he's going to 'All' in 'Favorites', 'Media', "downloads,"Frequent"then back to 'All'. My only previous, 9700, just had all the icons on the screen and did not have these alternative schemes. I find it quite disconcerting and want to fix to display ALL icons of all time. Cannot find how to do this.

  • photos, pictures are icons instead of photos. How to fix?

    When I write e-mail using WIndows Mail and to include photos, I choose Insert, file - and then the file opens with all these pictures.  I see small thumbnails to know what image I want to send.  I do not know what setting changed, but now when I look at the files, they are not thumbnails of my photos, but just the photo number and the icon (of any program is defined by default for images).  Should what setting I change to recover my thumb nails?  Thank you.

    Miniatures,

    (1) open your my pictures location, click on organize in the upper left corner, click folder and search options, click the view tab and uncheck the top option, always display icons and never thumbnails, select apply and save.

    (2) return to your location of my pictures, change the display of the page on the top of the right side next to the question mark symbol, there is another symbol with a menu drop-down symbol, click it and select the medium or large icons options specified.

    Once in the browser of the attachment, you may need to repeat (2) on the display of the page.

    Then, it seems that your connection files are broken, perhaps because of the infection. What has changed between the time where things worked and the time, they did not? There are ways to fix broken logons, but much depends on what caused the problem. If the machine was in the store I boot with a special rescue CD and take a look, but you can't do it at home. Since you have XP, a Bart PE could help. Otherwise you should take your computer to a local professional. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

  • Display edit icons provided for that particular record.

    Hello
    I have the following problem;

    I have a report that contains a link to a URL column. This column displays an icon of change for the link. The report displays a list of dependent records on the privileges of the users. A user can have the privilege to SELECT or MODIFY for all or part of the records. In addition, I want to display an icon on the column for records where the user has the privilege to CHANGE. I want to put a conditional statement on the change icon that looks something like this;

    Conditional display > Exists (SQL query returns at least rank) > SELECT id FROM tbl_name WHERE id = #ID #.

    I note that the recording may be designated by the #ID substitution string # when the column a column of link to download a document downloaded. But the method above (using the #ID substitution string #) returns an error.

    So the report would look like the following, an icon would show only on a registration if the user has the privilege of EDITING.
    ID     EDIT
    -----------
    1      ICON
    2
    3      ICON
    4      ICON
    If the record for the ID = 2 the user would be able to CHOOSE, but they would have no right to EDIT on this subject and therefore would not be able to make a link to the edit form.

    Thank you

  • display icons instead of thumbnails for images Vista

    About a week ago Windows stopped properly building and then display thumbnails for all my photos.  I am running Vista 64 bit SP2.  I tried all the answers that I could find on the internet.  My FOLDER OPTIONS are all properly to show the pictures and icons, etc.  I also deleted and tried to rebuild my miniature database through Cleandisk and also removing the stamp (PD4) file.  Nothing seems to work.  When I open a folder to view Windows will show thumbnails for a second 1/2 approximately and then return to show only icons...  Everyone finds another fix for this?  I also tried a restore until this problem is occurred and who also had no effect.

    Make sure you have your opinion... overall set for tiles.
    This setting is the Folder Options / tab / apply to all folders...

    No guarantee... but the following article may be worth a visit:

  • Xperia z3 foto widget display the broken image icons instead of thumbnail/preview image

    Initially, I used my Z3 without SD card. Any word very well: album AND the foto widget that allows to navigate through the photos.

    After

    -installing an SD card,

    -changing the location for newly taken photos on SD card

    - AND by moving some pictures of other directories-

    - AND the creation of a number of files .nomedia on these directories to make these photographs appear not not in the album, nor in the foto widget.

    foto widget displays an icon of a broken image for all photos taken prior to this change. All new photos appear in the widget and app album.

    I delete the file data and the album (in album settings - all apps) cache-.

    It does nothing (so far).

    How can I force the app/widget album to recreate its database and preview/thumbnails?

    Thank you very much.

    M ~.

    Working solution for the following:

    Order the soft MediaStorage
    Settings > Apps > all > storage media (FROM: Medienspeicher) "App Info" > stop App

    Data deleted from the App MediaStorage
    Settings > Apps > all > storage media (FROM: Medienspeicher) 'App Info' > clear data

    Restarted the application (via MyPhoneExplorer) or by rebooting the phone.

    The process appears in the form "android.process.media" in the list of processes (not sure, I guess) android

    To provide a treatment could turn the endurance mode or add "MediaStorage" to the list of exceptions of runing apps background even in mode stamania.

    (> a) how long it would take to recreate the database and photos? The directory of the main image (DCIM on the SD card) contains > almost 1000 photos).

    A: it is __NOT__ take very long. For my 1000 + pictures and a few videos is was a matter of minutes to see the widget started foto avatars correctly and see the album recovers very quickly. If you reach a corner of the album or the photo images widget still not recovered, the image appears rather quickly.

    (>) b where residing the .thumbnails directory? -After accepts the SD - be - it in/storage/sdcard1/DCIM or > in/storage/sdcard0/DCIM as it was before the installation of the SD card?

    R: it seems that the .thumbnails directory still resides on the internal memory (i.e./storage/sdcard0/DCIM). This is at least the case for my phone.

    It also seems that .thumbnails files are ONLY used for the foto widget for the App album someone could confirm?

    (> c) how to either force the media scanner to run and update the widget photos foto and the album database / see/check that

    > it runs.

    Stop the MediaStorage process, clear data from this application and start it again again and keep visiting the widget from the album and or foto.

    See you soon,.

    -It used to work and for some reason, now it does not work

    Greetings, d_chiuch1104,

    There is one thing that I know that you need to check that COULD be your problem.  Open Control Panel (in Classic view) and click Folder Options (or, in Control Panel, click on appearance and personalization and then Folder Options).

    Open the view tab and make sure that "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is NOT checked.

    It would be good to hear from you as to whether that was the problem!

  • Folder view settings and the desktop icons.

    Hello

    Today, I turned on my computer to find the sight of my account settings are changed and salis.  I also found my command to change the icons of the bureau and all messed up.

    Since I bought my computer, I used the settings of Windows Vista Home Premium by default for folders.

    I have not downloaded anything or update of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    If I turn on "Remember folder view settings" in the folder options - nothing else happens - have seen all I don't want their value and open them in small windows.

    Is someone can you please tell me why this happened?  Could this be the results of a hacker?

    The second option resets all display settings. These next two commands to reset the default values defined by you.

    Reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams" /f
     
    Reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2" /f

    Understanding saved views and navigation records
    In Windows 2000 Professional, the view you use is not always permanently saved in Windows Explorer. You can control if the views that you use are stored permanently or temporarily, to help to memorize check box of each folder view settings tab display of the dialog box folder Options (see figure 9.3).

    By default the Remember each folder view settings is enabled. When you choose to leave this setting is enabled, the following occurs:

    changes that you make to the folder view are saved automatically when you close the file.
    b. the display allows you to display a folder is not applied to other folders.
    c. When you open a folder, it opens in the view that you used when you last time there.
    When you clear the checkbox for don't forget to display settings for each folder, the following occurs:

    a. When you start Windows Explorer, the first folder that you discover poster in saved view of the folder. Explorer Windows holds who discovers in the temporary memory and applies it to all the files that you have visited while Windows Explorer is open, unless you manually change the view.
    b. as you navigate to other folders (after having opened the original record), the view saved for each folder is ignored, and when you exit Windows Explorer, the folder view that you used to display multiple records is cleared from the temporary memory.
    c. the next time you open Windows Explorer, once more, the saved view of the first folder that you open that determines how you display multiple records.
    Setting all folders on the same point of view


    Some users want to have all their Windows Explorer folders defined on the same point of view. In Windows 2000 Professional, the default is that any changes to the view of the file is automatically saved when you close the file and are not applied to other folders. However, you can set all folders to the same view by using the Folder Options command, as described in the following procedure.

    To set all the folders on the same point of view
    1. in my computer or Windows Explorer, set the display according to your preferences.
    2. in the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. in the Folder Options dialog box, click the view tab.
    4. under folder views, click on like current folder.
    Important remember view settings check box each folder under the view tab of the Options dialog box of records (see Figure 9.3) affects how the display settings for individual records are applied and saved. For more information on the impact to disable this check box, see "Understanding saved views and navigation files" earlier in this chapter.

  • Icons instead of thumbnails

    This was requested by myself at the bottom of the thread of another person but I have no reply: in a folder a few pictures show the actual image or thumbnail under the icon.  Most of the other images show the icon itself.  When I uncheck 'show thumbnails instead of icons' all the elements turn into icons.  Then I select 'show thumbnails instead of icons' only previous pictures that were thumbnails back to that State.  The other images remain as icons and never change.  I can't find any thick between the folders to find out why this is happening.
    I also installed the Photo Corel software and that could have changed things, but I expect consistency.  And he's not here.  For example, the photo icon is image Corel Photopaint X 4 for everything.
    Someone at - it ideas?

  • How can I get the files to display an icon, but as a thumbnail photos?

    I want my document to display as icons files, but makes all my photos are displayed also as a generic icon.  If I uncheck always show them icons, never thumbnails in the folder options and then my documents files show as thumbnails, and I don't want that.  Is it at all possible to display as icons of the folders of paper but photo folders to display thumbnails?  Up to two hours this is how my files appear (documents as icons, pictures as thumbnails).  All of a sudden, it's one or the other.  How can I get this back to the original way?

    It goes to its strange, but I solved the problem.  I ran a cycle of repair Microsoft Office 2007!  Now, my pictures are back to thumbnails, while my documents remain icons.  I feel a bit silly for you put through that much trouble.  So my apologies and thanks for trying to help me.
