shahed26 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi cluberti, yes i have desktop experience feature installed as well. Am using server 2008 x64 sp2 as workstation. Just cant get video thumbnails to work, even after a clean install. The only video thumb that shows is "wmv" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manikant Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 In Windows Server 2008 you will not see Preview Thumbnails in your Documents / Music / Video folders by default . This has to be enabled. So please try this Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Visual Effects.Also for Themes, Windows Media player and the Aero related features, You will have to enable it form the Server Manager. The “Turn Windows features on or off” / “Add remove windows components”.Server Manager > Features > Desktop Experience.Installing the Desktop Experience feature does not enable them. You have to manually set them up.I hope this time it should work.Hope so.Let me know it worked or not.Enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
