Windows 7 Thumbnails of videos not showing

[Aasima]

Greetings. I have a problem with the display of thumbnails of videos, especially AVIs and MPGs. Apparently mkv, 3gp and mp4 display fine. I have attached an example of what's showing.

Welcome to the forums.

There are many fixes for this - depending on the source of the problem (eg: mem issues, settings, codecs, cache, etc).

You can try to install the Redistributable Package:

(x64): Link Removed

Or you can try various settings and codecs fixes:
