Cannot preview images or create thumbnails within Win 2000 Pro folders 3

[JGKWORK]

Hi,

can some one please tell me why recently I have not been able to preview images in a folder (any format) or when I choose to have the images in my folder displayed as thumbnails, this does not work either - using Win 2000 Pro.

Many thanks..
