Hi,

I seem to be having a very similar problem.

I have the view options on the folders set up correctly, i.e. in
folder options, always show icons is unticked. However in some of the
folders the thumbnail is not appearing, while in other folders the
thumbnail appears correctly.

One factor that is probably of relevance is that photoshop elements v6
has just been installed and it appears that any jpegs added to the
hardrive after this are not being shown correctly as thumbnails. All
that is appearing is the blue clouds icon instead of the thumbnail.
Strangely if I change the file association, then the thumbnail will
briefly appear for a couple of seconds and then will vanish, only to
be replaced by the icon.

Note that this problem does not affect any jpegs that were on the
hardrive prior to the photoshop installation. The thumbnails for these
are all appearing correctly.

So now I am at a loss with what to do.

Has anyone come across this particular variant of the problem?

Thanks,

BlueLilly
