    Installed it, got the pop up that says it should work and opening it again will uninstall. Try opening gifs, doesn't work. Try setting the program as the default, get a pop up asking if I want to uninstall. Do so, install it again, still won't work.

    I just noticed the same problem. Obviously my Windows Photo Viewer was not playing the animated GIFs. I tried as suggested, right-clicking & selecting to Open with Windows Explorer,... & that plays the animated GIF.

    @Corgano: might be worth your time to put a link to post #97 in the same post with the download link. then you won't have the same questions repeated over 12 pages.

    kinda sucks having to read an entire thread just to find the information from 2 posts...

    thanks for this fix :)

    This sounded like a perfect solution to the problem as I was going through the thread and reading how it was working for others. Unfortunately, though, at the time of writing, this doesn't work on my system - Windows 7 64-Bit. As an interim solution I installed a third-party image viewer -IrfanView - just to be able to view GIFs animated, but this isn't ideal for obvious reasons. If you could get the program working for my system, Corgano, I'd be very very grateful. Feel free to ask if you want to know any more details about my system.

    Doesn't work at all. I ran 'XP Photo and fax viewer (For GIFS on Win 7).exe' and it prompted me to now try opening GIFs.

    Upon opening, the image is still static. I tried setting rundll32.exe in the C:\Windows\gif folder to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and still nothing.

    It's a shame as Microsoft really butchered everything with Windows 7. This thread is also all over the place which doesn't help matters.

    I'm running W7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    EDIT: This worked for me. Thank you!

    Thanks!


    Used the gifview in tandem with the gif format installer. Works like a charm

    Thanks for this Corgano, Goofwear!

    Does anyone know how to associate other file types to the "windows photo and fax viewer" that Corgano's installer makes for gif files? I want it to be used for all the compatible image types.
