Hello,
This is my first post here. I learned about IrfanView a few years ago on the Total Commander forum and I've been using it for small tasks ever since.
On my OLD computer (WinXP 32-bit) I run IrfanView v4.35 and when I open EMF or WMF files, they look beautiful. On my NEW computer (Win7 64-bit) I run IrfanView v4.35 and when I open the same files, they look like coarse bitmaps.
When I discovered this, I downloaded two other EMF/WMF viewers to my NEW computer, WMFview and EMF Explorer, and the same files look great in these programs.
Wikipedia says: "Windows Metafiles are intended to be portable between applications and may contain both vector graphics and bitmap components."
So I'm wondering if on my NEW computer IrfanView is only showing me the bitmap component. How do I get it to show the vector graphics component?
Thanks,
-Rob
