whenever i try to view a page from manga zip file, it opens w/ GIMP 2.0, which i have, and it's kinda uncomfortable. i want to open every page w/ adobe imageready

does anyone know how to change something in the computer so i may be able to open w/ imageready?

I use WinRar.

1. Click the zip or rar file and the WinRar should open(for my case).
2. On top, there is a menu call OPTIONS, click there and choose "Settings" or just use shortcut key CTRL + S
3. The SETTING window should appear, choos VIEWER tab
4. Change "Viewer Type" to "External Viewer"
5. Under "External Viewer Name", browse and find the Adobe ImageReady.exe. Then just click ok.

What i'm wondering is why use Adobe ImageReady when they are good manga viewing program out there? CLICK HERE

i use IrfanView to read my manga. it works quite well, and it also has a full screen veiw mode, which would rock but my monitor is too small. it's easy to use, free, and doesn't take anytime at all to load.

IrfanView is designed to view pictures and images but that doesn't make it suitable to view web comics or e-manga. I used it before but after i found out about ComicsViewer, i threw away IrfanView and CDisplay.

If not mistaken, the IrfanView version i used could not support viewing zipped files. And i need extra spaces to extract them into folder. Using the ComicsViewer, i can save more hard disk space since it can view zipped files.
