Julie, go to your Control Panel, and then to Performance Information and Tools. On the left there's another menu. Click on Performance Options. Check to see that in the performance options for Visual Effects, the option that says "show thumbnails instead of icons" is checked. Then, in the file browser in the top menu, click on Views and then click on large icons.

If that doesn't work, I may be out of ideas.

edited to replace missing words.

Oh good. I remembered that happened to me back when I first got mine and clicked something that was supposed to make it speedier and suddenly it was all ugly and I couldn't see any images. It took me a while to find that. So I just added more RAM. Now I can see pictures and it's faster. I was a little surprised I could find it again.

that's exactly what I had done! Only I didn't remember I'd done that until I got to the Performance page. I am so very glad that you did remember. Photo sorting will be a breeze now! Thanks again.

I think I'm going to have to remove Norton and download a free anti-virus. I don't know how to do either. I know this is a stupid question so my profile address is good. Thanks.

okay, here's the problem. My old computer crashed, and has my iTunes on it. I have my iPod with all of the music, and a new computer with a fresh copy of iTunes. Is there any way to get the music from the iPod on to the computer?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

What operating system do you have, Vortex?

Vortex, I just went through this same problem. Too bad my library is bigger than my iPod, but I got 40 gigs back. Anyhow, Try Senuti (iTunes backwards). I think they have a version for all modern OS's. [link] I would advise turning OFF the option in iTunes to automatically import album art until AFTER the transfer.

windows XP on the old computer, vista on the new one.

I unplugged the USB keyboard unexpectedly and it crashed. When I tried to restart, it wants the XP disk. I have an XP disk, but not the one that was used to load it on the computer.
