Ok in Vista x64 going to change Wallpaper but all I can see is the icon and no picture same goes in Windows Explorer, NO Picture just the Icon.
Preview of the Pic should be there right? :(

Thanks for any suggestions anyone might provide.

Ah, ok. In Default Programs, double check to make sure that Windows Photo Gallery is set as the default program with all of it's association set to it as well. If that still does not help, then rebuild the icon cache.

:(
Yes that was already checked, but unchecked then ok, no change then rechecked it again.
Also did the Performance Opts...

Going to reboot PC to see if that helps.

Also I have several folders with a bunch of pics in them located under user name and pictures folder, does that make any difference?

I downloaded the Reg key installed it and then rebooted then turned OFF Allways Show icons, Never Thumbnails.

For reasons beyond my understanding this worked. :shock:
