snapfire help

[sledge71]

hi everyone, we have corel snapfire on our work pc its has just stopped working and i was wondering what would be a good free replacement for it. the program is only really used for opening picture attachments on emails and the snapfire was fine except it asked to upgrade everytime a picture was opened. we are running windows vista btw thanks in advance

If you are only using it as a viewer then....

cheers chuck do i just dl this and run it and it automatically replaces snapfire? or is there some setting maybe in the control panel or something i have to set it up as my image viewer?

When you install it you'll get the option of associate it with image files, just make sure you do that and it'll be fine.

In the interests of neatness I'd uninstall snapfile if you're no longer going to use it from add remove programs (or programs and features) in control panel, but it's not essential to do this.

IrfanView and plugin pack is the king for viewing .. and it opens many many formats.

cheers chuck i ll give that a rattle tomorrow @ albags what is a plugin pack, does it come free with the recommended dl?

[AlBags]

You will see it available .. It installs itself and enables many more formats to be understood and played. Best to install that pack. I have for the last 6-7 years!
