joanied Posted May 18, 2012 ID:552736 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't know how better to explain what I'm seeing...my photos are in My Pictures and I use Picassa, the photos are there too...I can preveiw any photo and see it just fine...but, if I go to add a photo as an attchment and I open the folder, all I see is that generic icon with a picture of trees and sort of mountains...I have to use preview to see what the photo is rather than have the actual photo there to see...I hope that made some sense...what's going on? How do I fix this?Thank you very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 19, 2012 Root Admin ID:552764 Share Posted May 19, 2012 All pictures or just some? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanied Posted May 19, 2012 Author ID:552771 Share Posted May 19, 2012 As far as I know...yes, all photos. I'll check that asap, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 19, 2012 Root Admin ID:552773 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Just want to make sure you're not infected and some of your images are not really images.It could simply be a file association issue depending on what's going on.Best to probably run the following scanner as well so that we know a bit more about your system.Please run the following scanner and send back the logs.Download DDS from one of the locations below and save to your Desktopdds.scrdds.com Temporarily disable any script blocker if your Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware has it.How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware ProgramsOnce downloaded you can disconnect from the Internet and disable your Ant-Virus temporarily if needed.Then double click dds.scr or dds.com to run the tool, on Vista or Win 7 right click and select Run as administratorClick the Run button if prompted with an Open File - Security Warning dialog box.A black DOS console should open and run for a moment. When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:DDS.txtAttach.txtSave both reports to your desktopPlease include the following logs in your next reply: DDS.txt and Attach.txtYou can ignore the note about zipping the Attach.txt file in most cases.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 20, 2012 Root Admin ID:553174 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just either attach them on reply - click the More Reply Options buttonThen there should be an entry to Attach Files - browse to your desktop and upload each file.

fivealive Posted May 21, 2012 ID:553185 Share Posted May 21, 2012 hmm sounds like you have to change your folder options to show the icons differently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanied Posted May 21, 2012 Author ID:553304 Share Posted May 21, 2012 forum deity & true member ...thanks to both of you... FD...I went ahead and checked out my folder options as suggested by TM...and that did the trick...now when I open a photo folder I get thumbnails and not those generic icons...so, looks like problem solved... I would never have thought about that.If you, FD still think you should check out those logs I saved to my Desktop, please let me know and I'll attach them for you...I'll keep them saved until I get another reply from you.This is such a great forum...thanks so much, guys.
