Win98 â‰* Win10 While it has been years since I used Windows 98, I can not say if the current version will or will not run on W98. However the basic Irfanview program 32bit is a small relatively simple program, that as I see it will probably run on W 98. If you try to add the plugins there may be some programs that will have to have XP or later. The Irfanview exe file is only 1.6 MB. With the plugin the Irfanview folder is 35.8 MB and plugins is 33.3MB. -- 2017: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

I saw later that Irfan has on his site separate downloads for 32 vs 64 bit plugins, and a list of the disadvantages and advantages of 32 vs. 64. I don't have the page handy. |

I use both Irfanview and FastStone. I like FastStone more. It just seems a little more intuitive. My 2 cents. |

I think it's really two different things. IV is a basic viewer and to some extent an editor. It handles anything well and it's lightweight. Fastone is more like Picasa -- an Explorer substitute for images. Which is better? IV will easily allow for going through photos in a folder. FS will show them all as thumbnails and loads them quickly. |

Windows Photo Viewer works well for me, but I believe it also will save a rotated pic (which I guess you don't want) I can't help thinking that something is lost when it was wider than it is tall after rotating. Even though I don't know what good the bigger but lying on its side picture is. BTW, I found two programs that will rotate a video. I haven't used either one yet. Davinci Reolove is 670 megs however, just the download.. I think the other one is wlsetup and even it is 111megs. Both are free. ..
