view RAW thumbnail on windows 7?

Does the Fast Picture Viewer show you the raw image with the embedded jpeg info applied?

@riff The MS Codec pack worked fine for me. I run Win7 64bit and although I use an *istD, it says it supports up to K7. Did you download the correct version? i.e. the "amd64" one, not "x86". It could be conflicting with other software maybe. Imho, as a free solution and "official" its definitely worth a try for anyone who stumbles upon this thread.

Absolutely. I'm just reporting what worked and didn't work for me. (W7 64 bit btw and yes I had the right version installed correctly)

Adobe's own codec works too.

I tried uploading the free trial version of fast picture viewer but kept getting a message that said I had to uninstall psicon thumbnail handler and then reinstall the trial version. Anyone know what the heck it is (am assuming it is associated with photoshop) and will it effect photoshop at all?
The microsoft codec will allow me to view thumbnails in my pictures folder but will not allow me to view them in microsoft picture viewer or any other microsoft photo program. The thumbnails are just too small to do me much good. By the way, I did delete the microsoft codec before uploading fast picture viewer.
Thanks for any help.

I use FastStone Image Viewer - Download.com, it's free. I also run Windows 7.

This works great for me!

Thanks wasser.

I did no formal testing but I think it's faster then faststone on my system at least. However, faststone does many many more file types.

I've tried a couple things, but always go back to the Adobe codec linked above. It seems the quickest and most stable for Win 7 64 bit, at least of those I've tried.
