I've been using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer forever...about five and a half years (October 12, 2002 - May 29, 2008). When I upgraded to Vista I got Windows Photo Gallery in its place. WPG is OK - I like how you can scroll around the picture easily in full mode - but it doesn't flip through pictures nearly as fast as WPFV does. And I just learned that WPFV's rotating tool is "rudimentary" and not lossless, and I'm cringing because I used that program to sort thorugh 71,494+ photographs and rotated a good deal with them, so I'm not going back to that. Can anyone recommend a good, free picture viewing program? I need it to be able to rotate and zoom in all the way to actual size.

Yikes, I was going to recommend ACDSee or ACDSee Pro as an excellent Windows-based viewer and editor.

Then I read the "free" part.

Did you try the Nikon Viewer software that came with your Coolpix? You can download it off the Nikon website if you no longer have the CD.

Google's Picasa software is pretty cool.
