White thumbs??

[serendipity]

Hi all,
I recently installed XP SP2 on my old PC and ofcourse installed XYplorer too and my image thumbs appear white (see screenshot). those same images (.jpg) appear normal in explorer's thumbview. However, when i switch off super-fast thumbs and refresh thumbs cache then i see the thumbs back again. Is it a problem with GDI+? i tried everything from manually installing GDI+ and repairing my XP install but i still see those white thumbs only in XY. BTW, even though i see white thumbs i can click hold mouse to see blown-up image. Any ideas?



PS: same config on my laptop works fine, so it definitely my PC. any help or hint would be great.

hm. I guess you also tried changing the thumbs size.

No idea. never had this. black yes (fixed now), but white?

I know something strange with my PC here.
BTW another problem, if i uncheck "pop image in original size..." option in configs>thumbs then i dont see any MDBU at all. is it just me?

Well, that's the idea of that checkbox.

, you are right. i am sorry, but that checkbox gave me an impression of another check option in preview tab "shrink larger originals to fit window".

Well, I still havent figured out the white thumbs problem on my PC. But lately i have started to work with .EMF and .WMF files and these show normal thumbs. is it the gdiplus thats broken? any other ideas?

Update: if i rename any of my jpgs, pngs etc to EMF or WMF i can see thumbs normal thumbs. hmmm what do you think it is?

You can preview PNGs on the preview tab? You can thumb them when super-fast is off? But you cannot super-fast-thumb them? Yes, looks like a problem with your GDI+.
