Animated Gifs do not work on my computer, have checked - Internet Options -
Advanced Tab - Play animations.
Been to other sites with animations and they are still.
My laptop works fine with the same system, checked settings by comparison
and have not found any difference.
Can anybody advise?

Hi David :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

IE>Internet Options>Advanced tab>Multimedia section>
Check "Play animations in webpages"
Click Apply>OK out.

Try Doug Knox's script utility:
http://www.dougknox.com/utility/scripts_desc/fixpix.htm

or…...

Go to Start>Run and type in the window: (all versions of IE)
regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll ... and then hit enter
then type in
regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll - (IE5 upwards)

---If using WindowsME the command is:

regsvr32.exe /i thumbvw.dll

You should soon see a *succeeded* dialogue box after each command.
Click ok, and then reboot

also.........

Zone Alarm Pro can prevent animation from working. If you have it installed
open the programme, go to the Privacy Tab and click on the custom button and
be sure that the option to block animation is turned to OFF.

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks Jan, i have worked through all your suggestions up to the firewall. I
have EZ Firewall Lite and it does not seem to have the option to turn off
block animations. I have turned off my firewall and the animations work but
not with it on so this is the problem, all I have to do now is work out how
to rectify EZ Firewall Lite. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks again, David

Hi David :-)

You're very welcome! Glad to hear you were able to resolve your problem.
Good job!

Sorry I can't help with the EzTrust Firewall problem, I don't know anything
at all about the eTrust products as I've never used them. But, try posting
your problem with EZTrust firewall here and see if they can help. They seem
to get a good number of questions regarding the EZTrust AV as well.

Thank you for posting back and letting us know what worked for you, and for
the benefit of other readers who might have a similar problem. :-)
