Title: MS image viewer - a shitty software, or the shittiest software ever?
Post by: laesperanzapaz on July 28, 2008, 04:56:02 AM

First off, why do some documents I want to print off the internet [ex. printing receipts from online stores, from stuff i bought] require me to not only open the document [ex. online receipt] by MS image viewer, but also SAVE THEM TO HDD???  Jesus. Like every time i click 'print this page' hyperlink in the page on some sites, it does this.

Second,

seriously, am i doing something wrong? only this software does this

also,  it doesnt even let me print by even page numbers or odd page numbers.....jesus

PS: apparently it's called 'document viewer' or 'image viewer' [talking about the name of MS's shitty application]

I use the imageviewer for everything, and I read lots of comics.

It just does the job on my pc.

I think it matters if youre OCD, or rendering something in 3D in the background, or playing DMC4 on the same PC youre reading comics...actually it only really matters if youre OCD ;)

Still, when I had a tablet PC I used a third party program for comics
