Hello again. Thnx for the reply. Ok, I tried it. I don't use Internet Explorer, so, after 3 minutes of trying to use Firefox.. I finally succeeded in playing the only .gif file I have. I'll download some and try this again. Thanks for the info. On a side note, I can't even fathom why Microsoft omitted this support in Win7. Given I'll NEVER upgrade to another version of Windows, I might just go back to XP. It did everything I need. Don't even care if there is no more support. Who cares. Anyway, thanks again.
