| 232362 | 2004-04-27 02:04:00 | I have Windows 98 with IE6. For no apparent reason animated gifs have become inanimate. And yes,under Tools.Options,Advanced,Multimedia the animations box is ticked! Any ideas? Thanks a million. | teejay (2526) | ||
| 232363 | 2004-04-27 02:33:00 | Do you have ZoneAlarm Pro installed? If so, open the programme, go to the Privacy Tab and click on the custom button. Make sure that the option to block animation is turned OFF. Make sure your .gifs are associated to Internet Explorer - if you click on a .gif in windows explorer, IE should open to display it. : Easy way (Doug Knox's script utility): www.dougknox.com Harder way: Go to start/run and type: regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll (all versions of IE) ... and then regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll (IE5 upwards) If using WindowsME the command is: regsvr32.exe /i thumbvw.dll After a wait you will get a *succeeded* dialogue box after each command. Click ok, reboot and see if things are fixed. But be warned, this resets a lot of file associations back to the standard defaults, so some image viewer programmes may complain - but that's an easy fix - you can pick and choose your file associations later. If it still isn't fixed (make sure you reboot your system before checking) go to start/run and type the following: regsvr32 /i occache.dll |

| 232364 | 2004-04-27 03:01:00 | Other firewalls and/or adblocking programs can also prevent animated .gifs from working. Have you recently installed any new such programs? | Susan B (19) | ||
| 232365 | 2004-04-27 03:41:00 | Oh boy - It usually is something simple isn't it? Yes - I had recently installed Zone Alarm Pro but I did not connect it with the gifs. I have set the control off and just like that my animations are back again. Thanks very much. Much appreciated! | teejay (2526) | ||
