Pictures only display as icons

When I open the My Pictures folder or subfolders, the pictures only display
as icons instead of showing the picture as a thumbnail or in a filmstrip.
I've checked folder settings, and I've tried after setting different programs
to Open picture files. I use XP Pro, SP2. Not a rookie, but I'm stumped.
Any suggestions?

========================
First...try the following :

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

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
