my thumbnails are all of a boat instead of the actual picture.When i try to
click on them nothing happens.I need to right click on them and use the open
with option(either windows picture and fax viewer or paint).the picture will
display using only the paint option and are of lesser quality than
originaly.How can i re-set it to use the picture as a thumbnail and open by
left clicking on it?

Maybe the following info will offer some ideas:

Have a look at this article:

(307859) HOW TO: Change File Associations
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859

More info:

Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.

If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"

Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...you can right click an image and choose
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
