icons

[Deigh]

I have a Samsung 500T1C laptop running windows 8. I have a program I use regularily .When opened it should show copies of the book covers for major jazz fake chord books. Since a crash all I get now is the pix shown which is all the books under a Acrobat reader icon. How can I get back to normal?

You can try this, to see if making sure thumbnails are enabled by unchecking this box,

Thanks for reply.. Tried this, box was unchecked. Tried it with box checked but nothing happened.

After the crash did you go back to a Restore Point?

Having a lot of problems with restore, Only one choice is usually given and most times the computer fails to restore blaming a security program for its failure. Usually in desperation I do a complete 'back to factory' reset.
I would like to find a good restore program but can't find in the store anything satisfactory. Have you any advice?

Getting back to icon problems, I seem to remember that when the program was opened the icons as I see it now would be shown but then one by one they would change to the book cover picture.

The only advice I can think of is that somewhere in my Samsung laptop software I saw they had a 'restore' or backup program.
I am very keen to make a bootable restore backup with all my data, files etc saved on it.
I tried once on a 8GB stick, but it wasn't big enough. Now I keep getting that flagged warning 'Check backup disk space (Important)'.
Next, sometime, I'll try a DVD, but I'm worried about my BIOS startup sequence, and from past bad experience am loathe to meddle in BIOS (or Registry) ever again.
Good luck!
