I'm not sure when this started, and can't figure out how to troubleshoot this, but it's driving me crazy...
When I try to view a directory in thumbnail mode, I get a blank gray (thumbnail background color) screen. I know images are there (all JPGs) - and I can open them individually with Irfanview just fine. But when I use the shell extension to view in Irfanview, or try to switch to thumbnails from viewing a single photo, I'm presented with a big gray blank area.
The directory structure on the left is intact and working (changing directories doesn't help), and there is no error reported. Just a blank area where the thumbnails should be.
I have Irfanview on both my home laptop and work laptop. Both are Windows XP SP2, both have 4.0.0 installed. Work laptop does not exhibit this problem - only the home computer.
I think this started in version 3.9x and I updated to 4.0.0 yesterday, hoping that would fix the problem. Same thing.
Also, I had xnView installed. Somehow I suspect this may be causing the issue. Not 100% sure, but it seems that this problem may have started after xnView was installed. I associated all file types back to Irfanview and rebooted, but still no luck. xnView is actually installed on work computer, and Irfanview works fine on that machine.
Any ideas?
