I cannot see the individual photos as thumbnails. When I
switch views all I get is hundreds of little boxes with
an orange sunset and a sailboat. I've switch views to
tile, icon, thumbnails and I cannot get back the
thumbnail view of the photos. They are all jpegs. Any
thoughts.

================== Try this, maybe it will restore the option:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
