Question Help!! Animated Avaitors???

I have downloaded a program to animate the pics but I can't get it to work. I have resized the pics. Sometimes this computer stuff is so hard to understand. What I downloaded I got off a thread here at BW. Any other suggestions, different programs? What I have is Advanced GIF Animator Setup. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or just having a dumb moment? Please help. Thanks everyone.

Is that the program that you can only keep for 15 days. I can't remember what the one I had was called. It took me awhile to figure it out. In the end I managed to get 4 different pictures in one. The trick was in getting the resolution small enough. I first made them into thumbnails, then I used them in the animation. Keep trying, it's worth the effort.

Good luck!

If you have a program to change the pic to GIF than you can use this free softwre to animate real easy. There is another that does both but have had a rough day and can't seem to located it.Unfreeze

If you have time and could find it, it would be so helpful to me. The unfreeze looks like its really easy. I spent hours on this other program and didn't get much done. I'm still working on it again today.
Thanks a bunch.

The reviews I read on the product you have says it is very complicated.
Try Ulead's easy GIF animator

Yes, that's the one I used. I didn't find it really easy, but I did get it done in the end.

Infanview converts to GIF now so after you crop your pic, choose "save as" pick GIF. Then open Unfreeze and drag and drop. Just remember to crop to the same size before saving. Also Have found this, seems to OK although a bit harder PaintShopPro 7.0 with animation

I'll try and figure out how to talk you through it. Right now I am going through a bad time I just lost my Caesar, so if I don't get back to you right away i hope you'll understand. I already may a big boo boo here because of my brain, I don't want to make another.
Maybe others could help.
Sorry Gmacleod, While deciding to delete this I saw your reply, yes I should have know better, I could have sworn I posted the link once before because i had it listed as my home page. I am sorry and I haven't been on here for a while and probably shouldn't be right now, my head isn't where it should be at this time.
Again so sorry. I hope you understand it wasn't to be malicious just give my mind something else to do.

You cannot post it here because links to msn groups are banned from this server. If you find you cannot post a link on this site - then give up trying. We don't ban sites for no reason, it is because we do not want them promoted here.

You should read the rules more carefully too. You may not post links to, or otherwise promote boxer groups or forums on this site - under the guise of avatar assistance or otherwise.
