    Don't feel stupid, I unregistered the dll too. Just reinstall the DLL:

    Start, Run:
    regsvr32 -i %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll
    Enter.

    Tada!

    Yeah, I got that problem too, I don't know if this will work for you ,but for me I just simply closed the folder, and re-opened it, and then the picture on the thumbnails appeared!
