Aah, I wonder if I did not make myself clear.
If I choose to view the files as thumbs in file open, it works ok. My problem is if I choose file/open and view the list of file names. If I highlight one file name I should see a thumbnail of that file, but this only happens with files smaller than 3MB.
Putting it another way, click file/open and then display the contents of the folder as a list. Highlighting a filename less than 3MB causes a thumb of that file to be displayed in the bottom half of that window. If the file is larger than 3MB a thumb is not displayed.
Thank you

Photoshop 7….
If I click "file open" I do not see a thumbnail size preview of any
files
with sizes greater than 3MB.
Am I missing something or is this a "feature". Files less than 3MB preview ok as I scroll slowly through the list of files but anything over this size fails to display the preview
thumbnail.
Thank you

No, not a "feature". I can see thumbs for files as large as 120Mb. The
only
"catch" is that PS7 is very slow on my machine (1GHz/256Mb), so I need to wait a bit before thumbs are generated. Usually it takes PS about 10~20 seconds before it displays a thumb for a 30~40Mb file. So, I switched to XnView. :p

Sorry, I did misread your post.
If I got you correctly (this time), you want to see the thumb in the preview window (below the file list) when you pick a file from the list (after clicking File->Open), right?
In any case, this should normally work fine with files well over 30Mb. I just did it with an EPS that weighs at 44.7Mb and a TIFF file at 18Mb. So, there must be something wrong with your system. Yeah, also works with a 10Mb JPEG. (The EPS and TIFF in CMYK mode, and JPG in RGB.) BTW, also PS7/WinXP here.
Also, I didn’t need to re-save the files before they were displayed in the preview window…
