Thumbnails disappeared.
Suddenly I have ZERO thumbnail previews in Windows 7.
I looked in folder and performance options and everything is set correctly.Funny thing is they were fine yesterday.Can anyone help?

Let me rephrase my problem.I have the a graphical icon where the thumbnail should be.If I click on it,it WILL open in photo viewer.

Check to make sure that the Thumbnails are not turned off.

Right Click >> Computer ... choose >> Properties >> Advanced System Settings >> Performance [Settings].
"Show Thumbnails instead of Icons" ... Should be checked.
