Blank thumbnail?

If you import an animated GIF that shows a blank thumbnail and preview, it is most likely caused by file incompatibility. You can try opening the file in a GIF animation program, saving it again, and reimporting it into Clip Gallery.

If you import a graphic, such as a JPG, TIFF, or other photographic format, that shows a blank thumbnail, it is most likely because the graphic is too large and your computer doesn't have enough memory to show the thumbnail. However, the clip has been imported successfully and can be inserted in your documents. In order to see the thumbnail, try the suggestions below.

Open the clip in a graphics program. Resize the graphic to make it smaller, change it to a lower resolution, or both. Then reimport the new version of the clip.
Enlarge the size of your swap file. For information on how to do this, click the Windows Start button, click Help, and then look up Swap file in the Index. Change the Maximum Size of your paging file to the recommended maximum.
