Do the pistures show up if you change to Details view? If so, try deleting the Thumbs.db file from each of the folders you are having problems with. The file will be recreated the next time you view the file in Thumbnail view.

It's a Hiden System file so you need to show hidden files first.

Open Control Panel then Folder Options and click on the View tab.
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" (click Yes when prompted
Click the Apply to all Folders button and click Yes when prompted.
