But the gif is no longer annimated.

probably because it was saved as a bitmap file

Hello,

Are you opening the GIF file with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?

Right-Click the file on the desktop, Open With, and select Windows Picture
and Fax Viewer.

You cannot. You are trying to insert a *.gif into a *.bmp or *.jpeg file which the Desktop is. If it is possible then someone could correct me.

I didnot use picture and fax viewer. I suspect I need to config my desktop
to handle annimated gif but i donot know which program

any suggestion?

 

[Uncle Grumpy]

any suggestion?

Is the saved file still a GIF?

You said you use Outlook... is it Outlook or Outlook Express. If the
former, saved graphics are always saved as GIFs, unless you take some
measure to preserve the original form.

You say you *saved* the file on the desktop, and I presume you have
saved it as a file, not as the desktop wallpaper. If I am right, try
opening the *.gif file with an internet browser like Internet
Explorer, FireFox, or Opera.
