. When you run the program, you will see a dialog box appear, like the one at the bottom of this post. To add frames to your animation, you must drag and drop GIF files from Windows Explorer to the UnFREEz window. If you are dragging multiple files at a time, holding onto the topmost selected file in Windows Explorer while dragging should preserve the order of the frames. For some reason, holding onto one of the other frames you have selected while dragging messes up the order of the files when they are dropped onto UnFREEz. Please remember that your frames must already be saved in GIF format (UnFREEz does no converting), and that they should be the same dimensions. Some browsers will read animated GIF's with varying frame dimensions, but the results are unpredictable. When you have added all of your frames, you must then input a delay time to use between frames. This time is in centiseconds, or 1/100th of seconds, so 100 centiseconds equals 1 second. Also, you have the option to make the animation loop or just play once through. Once you have everything set, you may click Make Animated GIF. A save file dialog box will appear, where you can name your GIF. Once saved, the resulting animated GIF file should be playable in most web broswers, including but not limited to Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator After playing around with this I have found the easiest way to do this is to
#1. save your images together in your picture file (ex. 1a,1b,1c etc) when you have your picture file open, than go to your "start up menu (left bottom corner of your pc screen)and "open" the Unfreez program, it will open right ontop of your picture file, but its so small it will not interfere with your dragging and dropping if you have made sure your images are all in one line. Than left click on the image and drag to the box, you will than see the image name appear in the Unfreez box. Remember too the "lower" the number you choose the "faster the speed of the animation . Here is what the Unfreez screen looks like An example of what you can do with it, is the animated pumpkin and teddy on my post, and my profile picture.

I've got the download. I have tried the UnFreez after you shared it with me the first time and could see me using it from time to time, so when I needed to restore the 'puter I knew I would be asking it from you again. LOL!

YAY,,you get 5 !!!!!!!!! Good job, dont you always feel so good when you figure it out,lol! 1 thing I didnt mention, any resizing of anything you want to do ,do it before you put the images in Unfreeze, it will work out better than trying to animate it first than to resize, and Im not even sure why,lol, but it does!!
Teresa or Sandie I'm tring to use UNFREEZE to get the picture I got as my avatar to switch back and forth, I"m taking it out of my pictures and putting it in the unfreeze box and saving but nothing happens. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

and if I can add this to what Sandie says...
when u go to unfreeze and after you save the picture... when you look at the picture it will not to anything... but when you bring it here to post then after it is posted it will animate and change within the picture. I was wanting to see it b4 I uploaded and it wasnt doing a thing but after it posted it was working fine. I hope this helps too.

Teresa, you should be able to preview it before you post it. All you do is, once you have saved it and named it,in your picture file, 1. close the UNFREEZ program 2.Close your picture file 3. Reopen your picture file 4. find your new inage you have just animated in your picture program 5. Click on the image, and open in "INTERNET EXPLORER", it will than open, and you will see the animation. 6. If that doesnt work(and it should) and you want to preview it, email it to yourself as an attachment.
