Question

[J'Pol]

My IE is not showing animated gifs and animations, other than as still pictures.

What do I need to do to sort this so that they will work properly.

Thanks for any assistance.

Webroot accelerator seems to work for me. PM with link is on the way.

Have you tried rebooting the PC?

Just a thought.

Tried that - no difference.

I assume that IE is somehow chosing not to show the animations.

I can't remember telling it that tho'.

I also use AdsGone - but I don't know if that would make a difference.

I think that would block some images altogether

Posting in Software might get more replies. Under IE preferences >Advanced there is an option to Play Animation. Take a look at that whether its checked.

Go to options -> advanced options(i dont know what it is called exactly since my IE aint english) there scroll down to multimedia. Make sure that the first box is checked.

too slow

zone alarm also has an option to only show the first frame in gifs.

so if your using zone alarm check its settings

I am as it happens and switching it off allows the animations to play.

Good lad almost there.

Can you tell me what settings I need to change so that I can have ZA on and still see the animations.

cant remember off the top of my head and i dont use zone alarm any more.
