I'm using Solidowrks 2009 1.0 X64 now and for some reason in windows explorer my thumbnail actaully use the "icon" images. Meaning, I see an image of the part, but I can hardly make out what it is. What happened to my regular thumbnails? Can I fix this?

I don't know what happened, but when I try and modify my dimension heights the text box is grayed out so I can't select it. I can still use my styles manager. Any Ideas of what is going on?
