View Full Version : Little 'moving' Things Have Stopped

Why are all the little 'moving' things on the net not moving for me? For instance, if you were to go here (http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/) YOU would see two flames spinning in a guys hand. I don't. I see two flames completely motionless. Another example is avatars. An avatar that normaly is a small video is now just a picture. Basically all the little 'moving' things on the net, aren't moving. Why not? Also, I have Win XP.

edit: I have tried shutting down Zone Alarm Pro and clearing my temp files.

Either your browser is blocking gif images or ZoneAlarm pro.

First go to Internet Options, go to Advanced and then click "Restore Defaults"

Clear cache restart browser.

If it doesnt work then shut off zone alarm completely and try again. It has to be one of them.

@I AM -

Didn't work

Clear cache restart browser.

By the above, you mean my temp int files correct?

:D - I did this to myself once, too! I had to go into ZoneAlarm, and, under the Privacy options, Main tab, Ad-Blocking - turn OFF the Ad-blocking. That's what was stopping my animations. When I did that, the little animated gifs & smileys all started working again. I see from your post, you already tried eliminating ZoneAlarm. Go into your MSIE settings under Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Multimedia, "Play animations in web pages". Make sure you have the check in that box so the animations CAN play.

Those two settings ought to do the trick. Considering it can be getting blocked in two places just made it a bit trickier to get them working again.

YES! :D But I wonder why it works like that? Can I get another ad blocker do you know that will work?

Yes I have fixed the problem by turning off the Zone Alarm Pro Ad Blocker and can see moving images again. Can I get another ad blocker that wont interfere though(cause being on the web without one sucks!)

Actually I did do that but it didnt work. Thats why I said....

[/QUOTE]But I wonder why it works like that?[QUOTE]

because turning off ZA complete in win conf util, and then restarting without ZA at all didnt work. I had to turn off the pop up blocker with ZA on. No matter problem fixed. Thanks for the help. :)
