Psd in windows.

**Kenneth** · 11-17-2005

Hi everyone!
I have a "small" problem, maybe someone knows. I changed from photoshop 7 to 8.0. And now I can´t view psd files as thumbnails in windows anymoore. I have to open everyone in photoshop to see what it is. Very annoying!
Is this a common problem or only my pc?
(psd gott`n hold on me.)
ken.

I have the exact same problem. Maybe its because Adobe now want to force you to use their new Adobe Bridge freebie?

Corporate-types are SO weird that way...
Or maybe it's just because the information contained in a CS PSD is just not in a form XP understands. Or something...

Yes it seems like Adobe wants us to use adobe bridge!
But I find that one rather heavy. I found an interesting discussion on the subject on this page: http://www.notestips.com/80256B3A007F2692/1/TAIO-68UEVH
There is a missing dll-file in cs. For some it works just to replace it.
But not for me. I installed v.7 again and then reinstalled it. And finally now I can see all psd-files again! Also a way to spend a friday-evening.

by clicking on that while PS CS is open, the FileBorwers button will display the psd as thumbnails. and for that XP or Windows not recongizing that what file because PS CS was written to a different standard the XP or Windows will recongized
