No Video Thumbnails

[Piper]

Hi,

I have XP Home and notice that my videos do not show as thumbnails I just
see an icon. All of my photos and many other formats show as thumbnails but
not any video.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Waldo

=============================
Try this, maybe it will restore the thumbs:

go to...Start / Run and type
(or copy/paste):

"regsvr32 shmedia.dll"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in shmedia.dll succeeded"

Nope, no effect.

Might it be something in the registry?

Did you see the "DllRegisterServer in
shmedia.dll succeeded" dialog?

Sorry, I don't know what would be causing it.

Did the video thumbs ever display on this
computer.

Yes the success message appeared. No I do not think I've ever seen video
thumbnails.

I'm starting to think that this problem is related to my not being able to
use Windows Movie Maker. I also cannot see video thumbnails when I use Nero
to create a DVD but I can edit video in Nero.

Strange eh....

When I try to select a clip I get "class not registered". Nothing has been
able to change this.

================================
What about the video thumbs?

For the "class not registered"...no
guarantees...but it might be worth
a try to run the following command.

Go to...Start / Run...and type (or copy / paste)
the following...

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\qdv.dll
(yes, there's a space between the first 2 and %)

Press Enter.

You should see a dialog that says:

DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\qdv.dll succeeded

Sorry...that's all I have.

Maybe someone else has the fix.
