More info?)
thank you for this suggestion . I found a way around this item. I was
missing 2 files .. this was my solution, in case anybody else miss it after
updates.
Do a search to see if you already have WEBV.DLL and THUMBVW.DLL.
If you do, and they are already in your system32 folder, you may only need
to register them.
If not, extract them from the zip into C:\Windows\System32, and go to
Start<Run.
Type in the commands REGSVR32 WEBVW.DLL and REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL and your
thumbnail views should be restored
