    Default Re: .XAR files with a thumbnail icon.

    Years ago I bought Mystic Thumbs to see Xara thumbs:

    Works fine to this day :-)

    Grenou--Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking for a viewer to see targa thumbs, and this works perfectly.

    Update:

    Still nothing. The pressure to find out why thumbnail display wasn't working correctly has abated slightly. *

    Oh, I downloaded XPGD again and even used 'Simpliclean' to see if that helped. It didn't. Simpliclean is ... well, it's now uninstalled. I'll have to do another install and try the RunAsAdmin thing which caught me out with PDF exports. There's obviously something awry there.

    I'll post back here if I ever get a solution (other than an add-on such as MysticThumbs or XnView or whatever - thanks anyway, guys!)

    * - See attached pic. I was using XPGD to assemble 100+ photos of the spines of my books so that I could print and then stick them on my staircase risers.

    Hi brianlj,

    Can you try registering the Xara Thumbnails DLLs, "XarThumb.dll" and "XarThumb64.dll".
    To do this first navigate to the folder "XaraDLLs" in the Xara installation folder. Then run Command prompt as administrator and type the following : regsvr32 "[Filepath for the first thumb DLL]" and press enter, then do the same for the second thumbnail DLL. You should end up with something similar to this:

    I've worked through all those suggestions and I never had ACDeeSee installed here.

    Done with no results.

    Well, half-done; I only have the single dll 'cos I'm on 32-bit Vista. But... it DID say that registration was successful. I'll reboot soon (I have to abandon this and go cook some pizzas) and if thumbnails appear, you'll hear the shout.
