PS CS6 Win7 taskbar thumbnails and peek images blank

Most the the Creative Suite misbehaves with respect to the Windows 7 taskbar. One behavior that's particularly unproductive is seeing a bunch of gray icons for open application windows, and having the associated full size peek image grayed out too. I frequently work with many open image windows that I prefer to keep undocked. If they're minimized, more often than not there's a gray taskbar preview.

Screen capture example attached.

Once I click on the thumbnail and activate a window, the thumbnail taskbar image updates. But when I switch between applications, the updated thumbnails will usually go blank next time I peek at the PS6 taskbar.

I'm not seeing misbehavior, in that I appear to be getting all the thumbnails, but interestingly I'm not seeing the titles in the Taskbar Live Previews like you are. Maybe it's because I have the Taskbar set to show buttons with the names in them... I can also see the document title if I hover over the icon.

Regarding why you would be failing to see the document images... Seems quite likely that would be a display driver issue. What video card and driver version do you have?

Sorry if we discussed these details before; I recognize your username though I don't recall what we discussed in other threads.

What is your graphics card and settings? This rarely has anything to do with the programs thmeselves, but how your graphics card forwards the relevant buffers and that doesn't seem to work here.
