I just bought a new computer with Vista x64 pre-installed.

Windows Explorer displays proper thumbnails for .wmv and .mpg videos files;
however, only a generic thumbnail is displayed for all .AVI files.

I installed the CCCP codec pack, but it did not solve the problem.

I went to the Divx web site, and it says that their download is for x86
only.

How can I get Windows Explorer to display proper thumbnails for AVI files
with Vista x64?

==============================================
No guarantees...but running the followng command may help...

Open the Run Box by holding your Windows Logo key and press R...

In the Run Box...type or copy/paste...

regsvr32 shmedia.dll

(yes...there is a space between 2 and s)
Press...Enter...

You should see a dialog that states:
"DllRegisterServer in shmedia.dll succeeded"

Or...maybe the following article would be worth a look:

Thank you Mr. Inzer for your reply.

The regsvr32 command (run from an elevated command prompt) did not work
(module not found).

I did an advanced search on my C: drive (including system and hidden files),
and I do not have shmedia.dll. Could this be because I am running Vista
x64?

I ran the reg fix from the site that you suggested. SOME avi files are now
showing a proper thumbnail. I deleted the thumbnail cache; however, still
only some avi's are displaying properly.

Thank you again for your help.
