To load image data you can

Use Load Images... from the File menu
Drag an image file from the Explorer onto any Vinci window - in particular a specific OrthoDisplay. This also works with tools like Windows Commander, Total Commander and other file managing tools that support drag and drop for files.
Drag an image file from the Explorer onto the Vinci icon. Each version of Vinci installs an icon shortcut on your desktop. As you can use any number of Vinci major versions (e.g. Vinci 0.99 and Vinci 0.97 and Vinci 0.98) concurrently, this is a good way of making sure an image file is displayed with a particular version of Vinci.
Double-click an image file in the Explorer - only works if it has a standard extension (e.g. ".v" for ECAT7 files) that is registered for the current version of Vinci. A list of file types that should work is given in the Extras:File Associations menu.
