I read an article that said if you loved Windows XP, you would hate W7.  But it went on to say how much more you will come to love W7.  NOT!  For years, I've been sending animated gifs that I created with Poser.  Now, recipients can't open them.  And I can't open gifs sent to me.  I did download irfan view, which gives me a backdoor method of opening these files.  But isn't there an easier way?  I have been totally frustrated by Windows 7.
