The Finder doesn't display video icons preview

Question

The Finder doesn't display video icons preview

After computer restart in the morning the finder displays only generic video icons. Temporary solutions:

It does if I force quit the finder, until the next restart.
Deleting finder preferences, apple.finder.plist and restarting the mac. some show and some don't.

Any solution?

Thanks.

P.S. Sometimes I am getting this after pushing submit: "Please reduce the length of your post below 5,000 characters."

Does it look like it's 5,000 ?

No telling about submit messages here, may say try later when it already posted, may say content not allowed when all you tried to post was "I worship Apple", may count more than 5,000 chrs if you try to eliminate great expansivenesses of light gray text on a field of snow. :(

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

About the 5,000 chrs. It happened after inserting the image. So the way it worked, I posted and after that edited my text, by inserting the image in editing mode.

I will try the safe mode.. thanks.
