Try launching your internet browser. Then go to the file menu and select "Open File". Find the animated gif file and double click on it. Your animated gif should appear and play. When I create my own gifs I use a program called gifbuilder. You can download it at:

I create the frames in Clarisworks, save them as a PICT and then use GifBuilder to animate them. Check out some of my gifs (nothing special) at:

I hope this helps:-)
