2nd Vista Installation, no thumbnails

~J~ · 22 Feb 2007 at 22:33

Got Vista Business installed on my work machine and it generates thumbnails almost instantly for any video work, graphics, etc, etc.

Have now installed Vista Ultimate 64 on my home PC and thumbnails aren't been generated for my videos/pictures.

I've the correct codecs for the videos, they play perfectly in Media Player, the SD card from my camera will generate thumbnails but not as quick as Vista Business and I've checked folder properties and the "Always show icons, never thumbnails" option is unchecked.

Any ideas if I have to 'force' it, or is it a case of that they'll be generated when file-indexing is finished?

*update*

Apparently, it's a common problem with 64bit Vista and there's a fix that came out the other day which can be found here : http://www.majorgeeks.com/VistaCodecs_x64Components_d5535.html

Can confirm it works here, 100%
