I'm using my older desktop with Vista. Mine doesn't 'stutter' but it does take quite a few seconds for the RAW files to load while using Windows Gallery.

Because it's NOT ??? :D Just because it's free doesn't make it the best...

Coiud you please tell me which software will produce better IQ results then View NX and CNX2 ? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Win picture viewer is not colour managed. So you cannot see the right colour profile.

Fred,

It might not be the best but it is MUCH MUCH faster than Windows Explorer etc. (for browsing) and it is free.

The other possibility is that the Nikon Codec which is then automatically installed is the reason for the speed boost - at least when using VNX2 or CNX2.
