I am trying to view thumbnails on certain folders with pictures. in a folder
with 20 files,half come up with thumbnails. i know it's not the files,
because each time i refresh, it's different files that have thumbnails or
are missing thumbnails. it can't be a performance issue, because i'm running
a pretty fast computer.

any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul

Is this a new problem or an ongoing problem?

Have you recently installed any programs?

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately.

I just realized this only happens when browsing folders over the network.
but this is a brand new computer (3 days old) which replaced an XP machine,
which this did not happen on.
the connection is very fast, so it shouldn't be that.
i am running Symantec Endpoint Protection corprorate v11, provided by my
employer. the firewall in symantec is disabled, as is the windows firewall,
as i have a dedicated hardware firewall. but this is the same setup as the
previous XP machine.

thanks,
Paul

Many problems are caused by security suites.
See if completely uninstalling Symantec solves your problem.
Replace Symantec with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall (It's my
understanding a hardware firewall is not adequate)and Windows Defender.

I am running the same version of SAV on an XP virtual PC running on this
same machine, and the thumbnails work fine, and quick.
i just noticed that when opening a folder, on some files, the thumbnails
will appear, THEN DISAPPEAR!
this is making it very hard to work with my graphics files.

You might experience a different result with SAV on Vista. If uninstalling
doesn't solve your problem you can always reinstall.
