D300 and Windows XP

[mdparthum]

Has anyone noticed or have the problem of XP not showing a thumbnail view of .NEF D300 files. I have PowerToys RAW Viewer and now that I have a D300 I can't get a thumbnail of my image files. I can see the images in Adobe Bridge CS3. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Found this solution on on Microsoft's website

Thanks, by the way, that works with my Fuji RAF raw files too!

Thanks for the input. I already have the RAW Viewer Version 1 Build 50. I am not really sure what else to look at.

Michael, i had the same problem when i bought my D300 last month and had to download the dng converter from adobe. i then convert the NEF files to digital negatives which PS2 can see in bridge.

I have Photoshop CS3 and can see images just fine. I am just not able to see thumbnails when I access the individual folders that contain the images in Windows Folder View.

I have the same problem, but it's with Vista Ultimate. According to Microsoft they do not have a RAW viewer with Vista.

So I am guessing we will have to wait a bit for Microsoft to catch up them. It's fine then, I can still use Bridge. Thanks all!

I have done a little research on Nikon's website and found some Thumbnail Viewer updates; however, the computer system at work will not allow me to open .zip files. I will see what happens when I get home.

After having been out of town for a week, I came home to some Windows XP updates and now I get thumbnails in folder view. I guess they were working on the problem.
