I can't preview downloaded animated .gifs(help?)

[jimpeaner]

I used to be able to right click and save a funny animated photo and view it in Windows via the preview option, which would then allow me to right and left arrow thru all my animated pics.

Windows 7 it appears has removed that feature, from my quick research.

I need a good 3rd party way to go thru my animated gif instead of opening each one individually(and highly inconveniently) one at a time in my internet browser of choice, in this case Chrome.

Please help!

Anyone?

I've always used IrfanView for navigating through large numbers of pictures, if that's the sort of thing you're after.

I think it started with Vista, because when I had XP, I had no problems viewing animated GIFs. What a silly thing to get rid of. I wonder why?

Is that free?
