i looked at my c drive and found the "iNetCache" folder, but nothing was in it. i then decided to disable my avg virus protection and try another install. it worked. i now have the ability to view thumbnails of my pics before opening them up in gimp. thanks to all for the effort and help.
i still had a little trouble viewing some previews so i had to go into avg (virus protection) and except or exempt gimp from its protocols. the answer is that virus protection could be a problem with some installs and actions of gimp. thanks again.
