I used the restore facility to stepwise go backwards through all the programs
and updates.

Eventually I got to the point where the preview is working again. I
reinstalled all the programs and have re-installed all the recommended
updates and the preview is currently still working, so not sure what actually
caused the problem. someone previously mentioned an NVIDIA driver as being
the culprit, but when I tried "rolling back" the driver it didn't help.

Each time I install a new program / driver or update I recheck, and still
working so far, so a bit of a mystery glitch!

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I have the same problem, which is
very frustrating since my old PC on XP previewed fine.
thanks in advance

Hi,

When I double-click a picture in Photo Gallery it changes as though it's
going to show the large picture, but all I get is a blank screen, the Vista
hourglass and sometimes a message saying the picture can't be displayed. If
I start a slideshow or choose to open in paint, it's fine.
Pictures work in Media Center as well.
30GB spare on all drives a 1.5GB of memory, so the error message definitely
isn't right.

Seems I'm not alone
http://help.lockergnome.com/vista/Ph...pict19930.html, but
this is the only other reference to this error I can find.

RTM, btw.

ANy suggestions?
