| I have saved several animated gifs. However, when I click on them, they are not animated. I thought all one had to do was save as a gif to get the animation.
Can you tell me what I may do to save these gifs so that the animation works. |

| Hello walnutcreek, Right click on the GIF, choose select "Open With" now choose Internet explorer. Just want to see if it works there for you. Let us know. Windows Photo Viewer in Win 7 as far as I know does not support animation. This program does support GIF'S and animation, see link. Joe

Also, when configuring during install I personally recommend you configure with all picture formats, but no audio formats. This can be changed at any time, collectively or individually. DA |

| Well, I feel dumb. Windows Media Player does not even show my gifs. Why is that? |
