    Hope this is the right section. I previously installed K-Lite codec pack so i could view thumbnails for flv files BUUUUUUT its stopped working. I think this happens sometimes with windows updates, but no matter how I configured it I couldn't get it to display them so I've removed it (K-lite).

    Does anyone have another tried and tested way to get thumbnails for flv files to display?

    I'm using XP pro SP3.

    Actually fixed it just now. Apparently VLC media player is needed so I re-installed it. I also added the following to the registry,

    REGEDIT4

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.flv\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
    @="{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"



    Don't edit the registry before backing it up. So once you have the K-Lite basic codec pack (7.6.0 is the most recent one I think) flv files will display thumbnails. YEEES!
