Thanks for the heads up....and even tho Tuscows says 3.95....it's download is right version with the mirror I used

 

Thanks, Chachazz! Use that alot!

 

Do I need to uninstall the previous version before installinf 3.97?

Thanks,
Jerry

 

Hi Jerry,

As always I install on top of the previous version and never had any problems with it.

It also remembers your previous settings, so I'm not sure it would be the same when uninstalling.

 

Hi
Is it totally free OR
it needs to be registered
Help>registration -what this entry for-
Thanks

 

Hi hadi,

It's totally free for home users and non-profit organisations.
However commercial organisations have to register = pay.
If you want to support Irfanview, you can always register, but there's no need to do it.

 

Very much appreciated

 

You're welcome.

I used this software on my main PC although recently I have been using the re-size in my full programs. I have just downloaded it for my notebook - only noticed but the viewer itself is a smaller download than the plug-ins! Are the default plugins enough or are the extra ones best to install also?

I will certainly make more use of it on the notebook - just query what the extra plugins are

 

Thanks, Eldar. I was hoping that was the case. I have used it for years, although not extensively. It is an excellent program.

Appreciate youer help.

Jerry

 

I always wonder if they will ever update those icon used in the program.......

 

I always register or send a donation to help support a product I like.

If the default is all you need, don't install unnecessary plugins.
Take a look here and select plugins on your left to know more about them.

My pleasure Jerry.
I certainly wouldn't want to lose all my settings. And yes, it's a really great program.

Like you I also register or support products I like, as with Irfan. There's no obligation to do it though. It's entirely up to you, if you want to support it.

 

Thank you Eldar, much better to know what they are and do before I install. I went straight to the download yesterday and totally forgot about the actual site for the details I had a stressful day yesterday

 

My pleasure Robyn.
No problem, it can happen to all of us.
