Pictures not showing

17 years ago

I have pictures in a folder in My Docs that I view with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

I loaded the pictures onto a CD and now when I go to the folder in My Docs and try to view them I get a "no preview available" message.

Properties shows me they are jpeg and they have a size listed.

Any suggestions as to why they won't display?

Thanks

try going to view in the folder and changing the viewing style , choose film strip or thumbnail and see if you can then view them.

It was something to do with Thumbs.db file.
It was only a problem with that folder, don't know why.
I opened a new folder for my pics and the problem vanished.

I love the Fuji persimmons. They are so different from the ones I grew up eating, though I like those too as long as you don't eat the skin by mistake! The regular grocery stores just started carrying them within the past few years but I've been buying them from the Korean markets for quite some time. The Fuji tree I have is grafted (not by me) but I'm not sure what the rootstock is. I think I bought it from Edible Landscape in VA. I was eating a Fuyo persimmon the other day and actually found a seed. Out of a case of 25 I found 1 seed. I have no idea if they grow true or not but I was going to plant it and see what happens. Maybe if it grows I could graft it onto a hardy variety? Are the Fuji and Fuyo the same tree? The fruit looks and tastes the same. Karyn

Loved them! I enjoyed the Abba music so much, I went to Amazon and ordered their CD!

Thumbs.db file.

It speeds up the showing of thumbnails when you are viewing a folder in Thumbnail view.
