CD/DVD problems with thumbnails

Bobwhite1 · 01-28-2009, 02:11 PM

I'm using a Compaq-Presario SR5130NX desktop computer with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. It came with a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H653L SCSI CdRom Device (CD-ROM drive). The only problem I have is when I insert a CD with photos on it, and open the folder, the thumbnails appear for a brief instant then turn into the Generic Icon. That is the only problem, everything else runs normally. I have installed every update, all checks of the drive with pc doctor, trouble shooter show "this device is working properly". Thinking perhaps the CD/DVD Rom was defective I installed another device (Memorex double layer 16x cd internal cd burner) Vista recognized it and installed it using the same drive as the TSST corp cd Rom. I have the same results, a brief appearance of the thumbnails then the generic icon. When I transfer the folder to my C:drive and open the folder the thumbnails appear normally. I have made sure that the option for "show icons only" is unchecked. I have uninstalled and reenstalled the drive to no avail. I've used system restore but that goes back only 2 days and this trouble started about a month ago. I've had the computer for more then a year now. One other thing when I use my Photo Suite program and open photos from the CD thumbnails show up as they should. Now I have both cd/dvd devices installed and recognized by vista and the problem exsists with both of them and both are using the same drive provided by Microsoft dated 6/21/2006, version 6.0.6001.18000. I might add that I have gone through everything HP has suggested including deleting the icon cache, cleaning out thumbnail files, etc. I have been to about 5 different forums including MS to no avail. All the media I'm using has been checked out on other computers and work fine. Once again everything is fine except for the disappearing thumbnails on the cd/dvd drive. Any suggestions will be apprieciated.

You can try the following: Right-click the folder > Select Properties > Select the Customize tab > Under "Optimize this folder for:" select Pictures > Press Apply and then OK

Thanks for the reply. I went to "properties" and then to "Customize" but it doesn't give me the option "optomizes this folder for".

Sorry that didn't work. The only thing that I can tell is to try re-burning the photos to another CD. Since you mentioned that Vista recognizes the picture if you copy them to a folder, then try copying them to the folder and then burn them to a blank CD. Perhaps it's the issue has to do with the way they were first burnt to the CD.

I've tried doing what you suggested to no avail. If you can think of anything else let me know,

Can't think of anything else. One thing that you may try is to copy the pictures to Vista, burn them to CD/DVD using the Vista machine and them see if they act the same way. Of course, this doesn't solve your issue, but will give you a better idea of what works.

Thank for the help Felix, I've tried that also. I'm going to post in a few more forums and see what comes up.
