| | Animated Graphics I have tons of animated graphics which I used to be able to view the animation in the Windows Viewer when using XP. Whoever decided to remove this ability from Vista should be fired! This has probably cost me more money in time that the cost of the whole program. Anyway, does anyone know if Windows 7 will rectify this? I'm finding more and more reasons to avoid Microsoft products. Thanks, Ellin |

| | Re: Animated Graphics Here's an extract from one of my website pages. Windows Live Photo Gallery doesn't open GIF files, and Windows Live Movie Maker treats animated GIFs as still pix without animation. To convert an animated GIF to a playable editable WMV video file, use one the classic versions of Movie Maker such as MM2.6. -- PapaJohn www.papajohn.org "Ellin" <threejrs@newsgroup> wrote in message news:%232hPS0DTKHA.504@newsgroup Quote: >I have tons of animated graphics which I used to be able to view the >animation in the Windows Viewer when using XP.
