Hi Chris- > The previous versions of IDV were being run on XP. Just a little while ago I > also tested IDV 2.3 on an XP machine with Java 6 and .gif did work. Thanks > for looking into this for me. Use the Help->About menu to bring up the dialog and click on the "System" tab to make sure that it is running Java 6. There are 2 installers for IDV 2.3 on windows - one with Java 5 and one with Java 6 (the latter is labeled for Vista). When I use the Vista version on XP, I get the error when saving to GIF.
