I am using Photoshop CS and recently when I try to access my images, the wrong thumbnail appears. This only happens when they have the jpg extension, once I save them as PSD they are fine thereafter. I will open a folder in file browser, or just under files, and all of the thumbnails will be of things I shot months ago. When I click on each one, the correct file opens, but I cannot understand why the old thumbnails keep appearing on things I recently shot. They are okay in the Windows media slide show, this only happens in Photoshop. I have 1,000 MB of ram. and 100 GB hard drive. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks in advance,

Try purging and rebuilding the file browser cache for the folder(s) in question.

How??? Can you give me instructions? I have tried trashing the preferences when I start the program, to no avail.
Thanks!

From the file browser, click on File > Purge Cache (to purge only for a given folder) or File > Purge Entire Cache (to purge the entire cache). The cache will be rebuilt for each folder when you open it in file browser, but it takes a while. Better yet, one evening go to the top of your image file hierarchy (e.g., My Documents\My Pictures) and click on File > Build Cache for Subfolders and let the computer chug away overnight creating a new cache for all folders at or below the current level.
