    I have found this happens not just on windows but also on my phone occasionally. I've always assumed it's a corrupt file but I just downloaded these images, they were fine yesterday, and now today EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM look like this. I need these for class and I need to know what I can do to prevent this from happening or how to restore the images. Some I can't get duplicates of.

    :)

    Photo Thumbnails go blank

    Hi, When in go to photos (jpegs) the thumbnails in preview are all white boxes. The details of the title are still there but no preview image. Even more weird is if i change the view to list and then back to say large icon the preview shows but one by
    one they fade to white like a domino effect. Really frustrating.

    Thanks
