the preview option that showed u a small thumbnail of the picture's and such
is not working in vista anymore. i researched this on the net and many people
are having this problem.. does anyone know what the cause is or how to fix

If you mean from within Wnidows Explorer for the image file's icon,
then this will show you how to turn thumbnails back on for the icon.
