Why Can I No Longer View .PSD Files In Windows?

Recently, I installed PS CS3 10.0 Extended on my PC.  It replaced PS CS3 10.0.1 Extended, a version which was not mine.  Before the change, I was able to 'view' the .PSD files in Windows.  Now, all I am able to view is the icon.
I addressed this in the Microsoft forums, to no avail, as of yet.
Is this an issue with Windows or, perhaps, a setting in PS?  I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Su Hall

Su,
The display of PSD's in Windows is related to the psicon.dll (think that is the correct name). It was included for years in PS, but was discontinued, due to troubles at about the time of XP. At one time, the user could get a copy of that .dll, and install it, however at a point in the past, that trick stopped working for most users. Not sure why you had the Thumbnails for a while, but not now. My guess is that the .dll was removed, or corrupted.
I just use other utilities, like Bridge, and ThumbsPlus, and seldom have my View Option set to Thumbnails in Windows.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what OS are you on?

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • Why can I no longer see .mts files on my Sony Video Camera

    before I upgraded to Mountan Lion, I could hook my Sony Video Camera up to the USB port and see the .MTS files on my Mac. Now when I hook the camera up, I can no longer see the files. I have to hook the camera up to a windows machine, copy the files from the camera to a dropbox folder or DVD. Then I can see them on my Mac from the dropbox folder or DVD.  Why did I lose the ability to see the files directly on the camera?

  • Why can I no longer view video?

    I am running 64-bit windows 7.  Since this week's AR 9 update, I can no longer view Flip videos.
    Msg says there is no 64-bit support for the flash player.  Last week, it worked OK.  ???????????

    Hi bc, Glad you got it resolved. I'm sure it wasn't easy, since you were dealing with AR, Flash Player and the 64bit issue.
    I read a Windows forum that discussed the 32bit/64bit issue and was more confused after reading that than I was before.
    Finally I did some searching and found several links that explained it:-)
    Thank you for marking your thread answered because you have 3 different subjects here and that is helpful. It is always
    easier to search for the answered threads.

  • Why can I no longer open .doc files with Word2011

    I can no longer open .doc files with Word 2011.  .docx files are not a problem.  Everything stops responding as soon as I try to open a .doc file and I have to do a manual reboot (by holding the power button down).  This seems to coincide with my update to Mavericks OSX.  I have Word version 14.3.9.
    A colleague of mine is having the exact same problem. 
    I tried repairing my disk permissions but this didn't help.
    Please advise.

  • Why can I no longer view video I've purchased offline?

    I had purchased several films from iTunes and these were downloaded directly onto my iPad. These worked perfectly offline until recently when I installed the latest iOS update (8.1) to my iPad.
    Since then I can no longer even see the videos when I am offline.
    I only bought these to keep my kids happy in the car so offline viewing is essential.
    How can I fix this? Can anyone help?

    Solved, all videos uploaded to iCloud as part of update,Great now I just have to download them ALL again. Thanks Apple for taking the decision to clear space for me, makes so much sense......w&nkers.

  • Why can I no longer open jpeg files in camera raw in CS2? The option is grayed out in Bridge

    I was forced to download CS2 from the web after Adobe stopped allowing me to register it from my disks and now I can no longer open files in camera raw. Am I missing something?

    As far as i know, photoshop cs2 and adobe bridge 1 (cs2) could not open jpegs or tiffs into camera raw, only camera raw files.
    I believe photoshop cs3 was the first version to allow jpegs to be opened in camera raw.
    Are you sure you had photoshop cs2 before?
    If on the other hand, you can't open camera raw files that you used to be able to open, then you probably just need to update the camera raw plugin to version 3.7

  • Why can I no longer print pdf files?

    So, I had Vista and updated last night to Windows 7 Professional.   I did this because I have been unable to print pdf files for the past 8 to 9 months and got tired of forwarding to another computer to print.  Prior to that, no issues printing from any program including reader.  In the meantime, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader at least 4 times.  Checked all my settings (won't even print as image only) and I still get blank pages.  When I choose print my computer performs the funtion, but the Adobe "progress" bar doesn't count up from 1 to 100 numerically.  It starts at 1 and then jumps to 50 or 100.  My printer initializes and then nothing but blank pages.  I don't know what else to try so any help would be greatly appreciated!  Also, plain old English would be helpful.  I used to be good at this, but...now just ok.
    Thanks in advance

    I do not need advice!
    I have given up.
    I can C I'm having it easy compared to every one else in here.
    My pdf fioles need 10-15 over and over prints and still it's no good.
    Reading all this stuff is soo exhausting.
    And now I spend hours looking and adjusting stuff to print a pdf file.
    I'm not in Grade 8!
    I just had to say this, Sorry.

  • Why can I no longer play movie files from within iPhoto '08

    After uploading all my stills and movie files from by digital camera to iphoto '08, I used to be able to click and play a movie file from within iphoto. The frame and duration still appear but no response. Have I inadvertantly switched something off or has the funtionality changed as a result of my upgrading the OS.

    Hi Maggy, I suspect you're using Adobe Reader plug-in, & hear it's broken in Lion,, remove it from your Internet Plug-ins folder, then try this one...

  • Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov file

    Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov files from a Canon G11. I get a thumbnil which is a triangle with !. If I right click I can open it with Quick time. I cannot import any of the files into iMovie as it does not recognize them in Aperture or iPhoto.  From other dicussions I tried removing 3ivvxVideoCodec.componenet from Quiktime Library and retarted with no success, so iI restored the file. 

    You are welcome;
    there is another problem with videos, that might apply in your your case, when you reimport the videos, after you deinstalled the codec - the location you are importing from, and the permission settings, see this post:
    Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.
