Did you hit F12? If not, hit F12.

Did you notice the arrow button? Push the arrow button. Put the
starting point of the arrow somewhere on the picture. Hold the mouse
button down and drag it to the destination. Let go of the mouse
button. You have an arrow. You can adjust the color and width at the
bottom of the drawing tools window.

Did you notice the text button in the drawing tools window? It looks
like the letter "A". Push the A button. Click the mouse where you
want the text to appear. A box should appear on the screen. Type
something into the box, and hit OK. You should have text on your JPG.

Here's another way to do text:

Did a search for tutorials using "text and arrows using irfanview" but only thing got was this post.

Try YouTube. There are literally hundreds of tutorials on Irfanview
(of radically varying quality). Also, Google for "Irfanview Tutorial"
or "Irfanview Instructions". Plenty of those to be found. The reason
your search didn't find anything for "text and arrows" is that these
are two seperate topics and it's unlikely that you'll find both in a
single document.
