  Animation help needed

Hi people,
I am hoping that maybe someone could tell me what might be happening.
The problem I have is that the POV animation I have created in PSP Animation
Shop is working beautifully within PSP Animation Shop.
The saved resulting animation, 36 frames with 2ms gaps, however runs like a 
snail.
 I have previously successfully created small anims and can't say I have
ever had this problem.
I have tried reloading the saved file into Animation Shop and all is well
again ??? !!! So the file was not corrupted at "save" time.
I have run the animation using IE Explorer and IrfanView. In both cases with 
a fair drop in speed.
I checked my PC resources and was only using 4%.

Any ideas ?
It is obviously a vertical animation (is this relevant ??)
Keeping the file size down seems to help a bit.
I still need to animate the eyes and mousetache etc., but there is no point 
if the basic thing looks sluggish.
(Zebedee doesn't look so good in slow motion - UK Magic Roundabout TV show)

Bob
p.s.  Anyone know another animation player I could use. Preferably a freebie
