downloading a gif? Barb McC-D 7/4/2007 11:38:00 PM I want to safe a gif from a free gif site to my hard drive -- when I right click and choose "save picture" I get a static image saved, not the animation. What do I need to do instead? Or an I opening the saved file wrong? I am using the automatic open picture file that Vista brings up. Am I missing something obvious here? --Barb

Re: downloading a gif? "Dave" <dave[ at ]beepbeep.com> 7/4/2007 11:58:44 PM In Vista, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Explorer will not show animated gifs . You can view the animation in Internet Explorer, or in a viewer like Irfanview.
