Previewing images in W2K

[legion2552]

Hey all,
I have a number of images within a directory on my local machine and I'm having an "easy", if odd, problem; I can't see a preview of jpeg files. If I set the view to thumbnails, nothing. If I click the image, I don't even get the preview in the side window pane. There is nothing special about the images, some are just images taken from the web.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

No, nothing. All it shows is an ie type icon for jpegs, paint pot/brush for bmp...
