    I have no experience with cadpreviewimage.exe - it could be that
    it's not XP friendly, but that's unlikely. It could be something
    deeper, but there's a good chance that your file associations are
    mixed up, which happens when you install things. Programs are all
    the time doing battle over associations. There's a few ways, but the
    easy way is to go into explorer (or my computer, if you use that),
    find a rhino format file, RIGHT click it and a context menu will pop
    up. Select "open with..." and in the option box select
    cadpreviewimage.exe and also check the box that says "always use
    this program to open this type of file". This should/might fix the
    problem, but it also means that if you double click the file name,
    cadpreviewimage.exe will open the file instead of rhino. Also
    perhaps XP doesn't know to use rhino for thumbnails, so you could
    try the same thing but select rhino.exe. This may not fix your
    problem - thumbnails are the "first frame" of a file, unless you
    assign an icon, and sometimes the first frame is blank. It's pretty
    standard troubleshooting, though.
