Open them and they are just fine... any ideas on fixing this? I can't find a thumbs.db... thought deleting that would solve the issue by letting Windows rebuild the database... but I can't find it And yes, I can see hidden file types TIA

I notice it with certain video's I have on my computer, there are no thumbnails for them just the media player icon. 1999 Silver Frost SVT #609 of 2760 Born on 12/3/98 KKM Intake Removed Resonator 35% Window Tint all around Tinted Tail Lights ElKy Mesh Grilles HID Dyno'ed at 175.3HP/155.5TQ "How much must I live through just to get away..."

Some show up fine, others show the picture but grayed out.
