All,

Not sure how new this is, but I just came across it

it lets you view RAW files natively inside windows

Cheers for that even if we are both a little late, I must have missed it the first 2 times

I had to uninstall it cos it screwed up my system.

My 'usually speedy' system slowed to snail speed after installation, I uninstalled it FAST!:thumbsdown:

Wont install for me, got the correct version for my OS but it is grumping about certain files not being present.. Redownloaded and get the same again.

The downside would of course be explorer grinding away on the CF for half an hour while it builds thumbnails (because lord knows it can't just extract the existing thumbnail).

I think I'll stick to using faststone for previewing .NEF files, I barely trust explorer on 300Kpix jpegs, let alone anything else.

How do you uninstall it?
