A bit scant on information. What OS and is this using the Gimp File -> Open
dialogue? - as screenshot 1

It could be the images are just too large. Modern digital cameras especially,
can produce large files.

Check in Edit -> Preferences -> Environment -> Image Thumbnails and see if
increasing the Max Filesize for thumbnailing changes anything. screenshot 2

If still stuck, there are free dedicated, graphics file managers such as
XnViewMP, that will display thumbnails and can be set up to open an image in
Gimp.
