191019 2003-11-11 16:48:00 Like msn messenger 6.U can view what the pictures look like before it is received or downloaded into your computer.
In windows 98se.If i download a picture.Are there anything I can addon to windows which lets me view the picture without actually opening a program?Im using a 200mhz processor and to see what the picture looks like.Opera or ie has to open to view the pictures.Are there an alternative?
Either than buying a new computer!

191020 2003-11-11 18:21:00 Not really sure what you mean.
In XP you can preview a pic in Explorer before you open it. Do you want to be able to do some sort of browse before opening?
You can usually view pictures in IE too.

If you are wanting to preview downloaded pictures and find IE or Opera too slow to load beacuse of your 200MHz processor, try downloading the FreeView graphics viewer from Here. (freedownloadscenter.com)

It is free, small, and can open most image formats as quickly as you can select them. I use it with a 166MHz processor, 2MB video RAM and 198MB system RAM and it is the only viewer I have found that lets me browse quickly through a whole folder full of image files.

Alternatively, if you are wanting to preview before downloading, unless there are thumbnails available you pretty much have to endure the wait.

191027 2003-11-16 14:42:00 My dad says u need to tweak the registry but he doesn't know how.I've set the folders to enable thumbnail preview but that doesnt work.
Then i went to windows explorer.Choose view then folder option and change it to web page style.Still doesnt work.So now im downloading the program that the person meantioned before.
Will get back to u when i get it going.!!
