Lost vid thumbnails in explorer

[thej762000]

Recently I installed a new codec pack the result of which is that all the
thumbnails for my video files in win explorer have been lost, being replaced
by the generic WMP icon. I would put it down to this new codec but all the
videos play fine, I just can't get any thumbnails of them. All thumnails for
image files work fine so I'm wondering if it's some kind of Windows setting.
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks in advance.

Formatted C drive and reinstalled XP to fix it.. thank you all for your
non-help.
