Yesterday at 08:17 PM Actions…Anonchair » If you've got a different OS available (linux maybe) try viewing hidden files and if there's a Thumbs.db file on your HD, try deleting it
Yesterday at 08:15 PM Actions…Anonchair » it's a temporary fix to the problem - that command is just a way of turning a certain step in the cause of the problem off. If you do have .AVI files on the harddrive, the actual cause are any 3rd party codecs used to generate thumbnail previews.
