ok, zink's gonna enter into the fight.. bwajaja
one good freeware image viewer program that I didn't see here is: irfanview
I think is a way better than ACDSee ...
(at least the ACDSee versions I tried.. I don't know if that have changed)
and ACDSee is shareware, isn't it?
and well of course I need some codecs to see my videos to breathe so I can live in armony with the universe..
(quicktime alternative a way better than the other one)
oh, and the windows media payer classic is good.. althought I still prefer BSplayer
