Why can't I view quicktime thumbnails on my pc windows xp?

I have "view thumbnails" turned on in the options, but all I see are Quicktime icons rather than a frame of video. I had the capability to see thumbnails of video before, but they disappeared. How do I get them back?
It is ten times harder to do video projects without seeing a frame of video in the thumbnail.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hijumes, I think I did something similar to what you mention, but don't hold me to it I may be totally off base, and it was some time ago.
Start>Settings>Control Panel & open the Folder Options control panel. Click on the menu for File Types. Scroll down to MOV QuickTime Movie and click on it.
Then click on the Advanced button
Then click on Change Icon...button
Then the Browse...button

  • Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

         Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
    When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
    LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
    LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's 
    LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
    but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
                            THANK YOU!

    If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
    Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
    And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
    Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why can't I view videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?

    Why can't I view music videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?  I was able to with my first generation Ipod Touch. 
    I hate viewing a small version of the video.  If there aren't any fixes to the issue, there is no point in purchasing music videos.  Clicking the screenlock icon doesn't work.  It just allows you to view the small video in any mode instead of seeing album covers.

    Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

    Why can't I view some videos on Some Internet sites?

    The iPad does not have Flash. Adobe does not make Flash for the iOS.So you either need a specific app, such as the YouTube app to view Flash video on the YouTube site, or you can get one of the very experimental Flash browsers for the iPad from the iTunes App Store.

  • HT4847 why can't i view my photos on icloud?

    Why can't i view my photos/videos on icloud?

    iCloud services merely "push" your Phto Stream files to enabled devices.
    You can't view your photos at iCloud.com.

  • Why can't I run quicktime videos on ipad2?

    why can't I run quicktime videos on ipad2?

    Eric-
    QuickTime is capable of playing more video formats than the iPad.  The iPad can play M4V, MP4 and some MOV format videos.  It can not play formats like WMV and FLV.
    One thing you can do is to convert the video formats on your computer. 
    A free program that can do it is HandBrake, which is available for both PC and Macintosh at <Download>.

  • Why can't we view Java on the iphone?

    Why can't we view java. I understand that Steve Jobs said in 2010 that it was a dying technology however lots and lots of sites still use it and I am tired of needing my laptop every time I want to use one of those sites. This includes large companies such as BBC, Lottery etc. can I download another browser and it will work, eg if I don't use Safari?

    Why can't we view java.
    Because the iPhone does not have support for Java.
    lots and lots of sites still use it
    Really? I haven't come across one in years. I don't even have it installed on my computers.
    This includes large companies such as BBC, Lottery etc.
    I use both of those sites, and have never come across the need for Java. Are you sure you are talking about Java?
    Provide some links to pages you are unable to view.
    can I download another browser and it will work, eg if I don't use Safari?
    You can download another browser if you want. You'll have to read the AppStore descriptions for browsers that claim to support Java and then try them out.

  • Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

    Hello Andra,
    It sounds like you are not able to access the iTunes and App Stores on your iPod touch.  I found an article with steps you can take to address issues like this.  The steps in this article address both the iTunes and App Stores:
