I really doubt you can, as it was never a standalone program. If you really
want to see animated gifs, you can always drag them onto IE, or even
associate IE with .gif files.

Thanks Dave. I have IrfanView, but I like the fast-opening-display by
Preview with Picture & Fax Viewer. I make animated gifs for training
