Is there anyway to make a gif in Windows 7?

Windows 7 does not include any options for creating animated

.gif files.

One of the following freeware GIF Animators may be worth a try:

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System

Restore point before installing software or updates)

Falco GIF Animator

Beneton Movie GIF

http://www.benetonsoftware.com/Beneton_Movie_GIF.php(XP, Vista, 7)

And maybe you could find an online site that would be useful...

the following link is one example and I'm sure a Google search

would find more:

For viewing animated .gif files on your Windows 7 machine...

the freweware IrfanView may be worth a try:

IrfanView and IrfanView Plug-ins

(scroll down slightly for the download links)

(get the plug-ins too)

To view .gif thumbs open IrfanView and go to...File / Thumbnails...and

navigate to the folder the .gif files are archived in. Double left click a

.gif to see it animate in the main view window.

Also there's a free download at the following link that may be worth a try:
