Windows 7 a couple of silly ones

[3doz]

first I have lost the thumbnail pictures and only get icons in the directories

second every now any then internet explore shows a small screen and states closing down this then reopes almost straight away
or the screen flashes

not a real great problem but a distraction

? Do you have this option on or off:

Control Panel > Folder Options > Uncheck "Always show icons, never thumbnails"

second every now any then internet explore shows a small screen and states closing down this then reopes almost straight away
or the screen flashes

There can be many causes of that, Link Removed - Invalid URL could tell more.
