I connected my digital camera to the computer. Windows installed device software to use the camera.

Initially, I saw small image previews. Once all the pictures were loaded, I no longer saw the image previews. Now all I see is a Windows logo and a harddrive icon.

How can I see the image previews?

I understand I can click the icon to open the image, but I want to know why I'm not seeing the image previews. There isn't even a filename, so I'd have to open every image to find what I am looking for.

sorry i missed your post the other day .
check the image i attached , open file explorer and open the camera icon ,click on view and choose large icons or details if you want to see the name [just click the file name and it will show the preview of the file ]and the details pane to see the preview of the pic
im using win8.1 so it might look a little different than yours .
good luck

I connected the camera to the computer again, and without having changed anything, I am now able to see image previews.

in the course of troubleshooting ,that would have been one of the first things to try ,like rebooting the computer is one of the firast things to try for a lot of computer problems .
good to see you got it sorted out
