animated gifs and windows photo viewer

Yeah, but that is another program, not windows photo viewer.
I corrected the compatibility of rundll32.exe to vista.
I was searching for the folder in the program folder , not in the windows folder.

That said, my problem of the gifs playing at half speed is still there.
my OS is a 64-bit system, is that a problem?

It is also stated above that you need to run the file (rundll32.exe) @ c:/windows/gif in compatibility mode for windows vista or xp. I hope this helps for you. I had the same error.

Which is why I re-wrote goofwares installer. It uses C:\ instead of %systemroot% which can cause errors depending on how your system is configured. This means if somthing changes in your system, like if windows in installed to a different drive or drive lettering changes, it breaks the connection and it fails. It also uses a modified version of the DLL which I don't really trust, but that's a side note

If you like window's XP's "photo and fax viewer" and goof's installer doesn't work for you, give this one a try. Safe, uses the origional DLL, just run once and you're done. Run again to uninstal.

Here you go Gary

When I right click on an image & open with "Windows Photo & Fax Viewer" I get this message:



I installed it & then uninstalled it & then installed it again. What am I doing wrong? what do I need to delete or re-download?
I also tried goofwear's method, it also won't work.

That's very interesting. Can you double check that the compatibility settings are correct? go to "%SystemRoot%\gif" and right click -> properties on the rundll.exe, screenshot the compatibility tab.
