GIF Animator 4 was introduced with Ulead PI 6, some time ago and was designed for all Windows OS up to Win 2000, with the exception of Win XP.
The software was already installed on my Win ME, when I upgraded to XP, and worked fine. As soon as I had to reinstall XP, I lost function of PI 6 and GIF 4 and had to upgrade.
At the time GIF 4 was created Windows was using a different version of DOS. What was the DOS error message you received?

Hi there.
I had to translate the error message into English for -unfortunately- the version they installed on my comp is a Dutch one.
But it says something like this : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The systemfile is not suitable for MS-DOS- and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose Close to exit the application.
Does this mean I can throw away my CD?

Depending on the system configuration, Microsoft Windows XP may delete or modify the autoexec.nt file when upgrading to Service Pack 2 (SP2). This file in not needed by the Microsoft Windows XP Operating System. However, if is required for some 16-bit DOS and legacy Windows applications (such as GIF Animator) to run.
When installing GA Animator on an XP system with a missing or corrupted autoexec.nt file, the error message such as you received will appear.
To copy the Autoexec.nt file from the Repair folder to the System32 folder, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, and then click Explore. (Note: For Microsoft Windows XP systems running in "Classic mode", right-click My Computer on the desktop and then click Explore)
2. The My Computer explorer window appears.
3. In the left pane, click the [+] sign next to your primary local hard drive.
This is normally your C: drive.
4. In the left pane, click the [+] next to the Windows install directory. (Note: For most systems, this is the Windows folder. On some client systems, this is the WINNT folder.)
5. In the left pane, scroll down and click the Repair folder.
6. In the right pane, right-click autoexec.nt and click Copy from the menu that appears.
7. In the left pane, scroll down and click the System32 folder.
8. In the right pane, right-click on any blank space inside the window and click Paste.
No there is nothing wrong with your Disc, it IS MICROSOFT WIN XP!
