Thanks Tim, I had read some of those, but hadn't seen the third.  I'll try
the regedit,or just rename windows convert.  I already have ImageMagick at
the beginning of the PATH.  It's seems like I can run/access ImageMagick
convert from cmd when I call/run it directly, but DSpace is trying to use
Windows convert.

Is the double extension ".pdf.jpg" normal?

Do Ghostscript and ImageMagick need to be in the same folder?  I know it
states to install them both to /usr/bin (linux path) in the documentation,
but is that needed on a win box?

We had the thumbnail generation working on an earlier install of 5.0 with
the applications in their respective default install locations.
