Try logging off and back on again. XP isn't very good about installing explorer shell extensions. If that doesn't work, on XP you can also try deleting the thumbs.db file which is in the folder with the materials and plants.
I have the latest build. Material thumbnails don't work only when I load them (they were created in some previous version) to drawing and only with procedural ones. When I create them in drawing, everything works fine
Working pretty well with ACAD 2011 on the quad core Opteron, including thumbnails.
My older Athlon system with ACAD 2008 does not display thumbnail previews and renders stall on this during the "preparing rendering" stage:

Good day, forum members,I was thinking that we could each, if interested, contribute a significant token to give Peter Milner and David to train us virtually in nxt render for Autocad. Am not sure he still uses it but the experience he has spanning over 20 years cannot be underestimated. I wish the forum co-ordinators could look into this. So that more of us will produce realistic renders with the paid version of nxt render and we will be able to encourage other users of other more advanced…See More
Good day everyone.Does anyone here know how to create light streaks in ACCURENDER studio or in nxt render ? Please share your knowledge with me. Light streaks for interior ceilings in the p.o.p works and under, a t.v console. See More
I created this replication of one of Peter Milner's renders, not with AI but with sketchup (with the matchnewphoto tool), autocad and nxtrender.Critics and comments are welcome.
