Like the title says, an updated version is now available. The only bad thing is that they now offer to install an eBay search bar, but you can opt out of that during installation.

Thanks...I downloaded it. I going to wait untill I feel "bright" to install it and figure it out.

Ronbo, can you tell us what you like about it, some user tips? (its not that I'm lazy, more like I just can't get at it right now... )

Thanks for the information; I have downloaded the new version, since it appears the one I was using was several versions outdated.

Irfanview is a very fast, small, and compact graphic viewer for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.
I've been using it since version 3.80. It's easy to use (best feature), and does a lot. There are also
a lot of plug-ins available for it. Here's a partial list of some of it's features:

* Multi language support
* Thumbnail/preview option
* Slideshow (save slideshow as EXE/SCR or burn it to CD)
* Show EXIF/IPTC/Comment text in Slideshow/Fullscreen etc.
* Support for Adobe Photoshop Filters
* Drag & drop support
* Fast directory view (moving through directory)
* Batch conversion (with image processing)
* Email option
* Multimedia player
* Print option
* Change color depth
* Scan (batch scan) support
* Cut/crop
* IPTC editing
* Effects (Sharpen, Blur, Adobe 8BF, Filter Factory, Filters Unlimited, etc.)
* Capturing
* Extract icons from EXE/DLL/ICLs
* Lossless JPG rotation
* Many hotkeys
* Many command line options
* Many PlugIns
* Only one EXE-File, no DLLs, no Shareware messages like "I Agree" or "Evaluation expired"
* No registry changes without user action/permission!
* and many more
