i reformated my computer and now it cant support gif images. can anyone help me!?

That really, really shouldn't happen.

Did you install some type of anti-virus program? They can sometimes block animation in *.gif files, to protect from threats that don't actually exist.

Reinstall the OS.

I don't think reinstalling the OS will give him different results. It must be something he did after installing the OS.

Maybe this will help: http://www.dougknox..../file_assoc.htm

Use the GIF file association fix.

Running the image utility on this site might be easier: http://windowsxp.mvp.../imgassofix.htm

i di the assocation fix with a vista association fix for the .gif file. the computer still says .gif isn't supported or it isn't suitable for vista.

I have gif open up with IE and paint you have to edit it in Control Panel ->Control Panel Home-> Programs Under default programs click Make a file typeopen in a specific program

Then go to *.gif and choose a program to open it like IE.
