Hi Matthew,

This is caused by an incorrect thumbnail quality setting in the registry.
Reset the values to defaults using TweakUI
http://download.microsoft.com/down [...] ySetup.exe

TweakUI/Explorer/Thumbnails. Set the slider to 9th point (last but 3)

How do I alter the default size and quality of thumbnail images?:

To restore higher res thumbnail view select all the greyed out images in the folder. Go to File – Properties. Uncheck “Hidden”. Click Apply. Wait for restore process to complete. Your thumbnails are back!
Tweak UI will only work with newly added thumbnails.
Hope this helps.
