If you had answered `y' you might have seen a buffer with thumbnails. I say `might' because image-dired requires the external tool `convert' to work, and you run Windows XP where this is not installed by default. However, you can easily download it, `convert' is part of the ImageMagick package. After installing it you need to make sure that convert.exe is in your PATH or you need to configure image-dired and point out where the file is. Good luck!
