Almost identical situation in Windows 7 64-bit: ------------------------------------------------- run regsvr on both DLLs - no thumbnails ----------------------------------------------------- do a 'repair install' of Reader 9 from control panel > programs and features - still no thumbnails ----------------------------------------------------- run 32-bit explorer: - thumbnails YES. - Previews, NO. You get an error message referencing PDFPrevHndlr.dll (Explorer's preview feature has been somewhat changed and enhanced in Win7 vs. Vista, so this is not a real surprise.) ----------------------------------------------------- run regular (64-bit) explorer on directories where thumbs were generated by 32-bit explorer: - thumbnails still YES. - Previews still NO. You get a generic message 'this file can't be previewed' ----------------------------------------------------- btw: for those getting a regsvr error msg, try enclosing the whole file path in quotes, e.g.: -- type CMD in start search -- r-click on CMD.exe (should be top result), choose 'run as administrator' -- this opens CMD in system folder -- type your command and press ENTER. The whole command line will look like this: C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\PDFPrevHndlr.dll"
