Clip art browser shows generic thumbnail instead of thumbnail of i

[Steve in Orem]

My clip art viewer bar has trouble displaying preview images (thumbnails). I
usually get an icon for a windows media file. I'm sure it's something to do
with file associations, but I'm not sure how to fix it so I can see
thumbnails of the actual images instead of an icon. Can someone help me?

I have a new laptop and am having the same problem, I have emptied the cache and can still not get a preview on the icon as i did with XP. I cannot see by clip art to do my work . Please Help.

no, they are not talking about the internet brower. they are talking about
the browser that opens up IN office when you choose Insert > Picture > Clip
Art...

I am having the same problem. My home computer used to preview the
pictures, but now it doesn't. I have to now go through the arduous process
of opening the clip organizer and choose preview for EVERY clip i search for
just to see it.

Generic icons appear in the Web Collections folder of Clip Organizer in an
