| 172899 | 2003-09-04 01:19:00 | Hi All, Have a problem with IE6 not showing animations - animated gifs are static. I tried resetting the 'no animations' option, etc, to no avail. I thought it might point to a deeper issue with IE, so downloaded Opera (which is great, by the way, much nicer than IE) Opera has the same trouble! What also happens with both browsers is graphics going into the wrong locations - if I move from say 'PressF1' to 'stuff.co.nz' - some of the PressF1 graphics will display on the stuff website, which gets confusing. I'm on WinXP home, and regularly download the patches - I'm all up to date. I run zone alarm pro for a firewall and have Norton anti virus up to date too. Any ideas? |

| 172901 | 2003-09-04 01:39:00 | "More than 85% of all flash animation on web pages is advertising. These flash files are pretty large, and normally take up to 90% of the size of the page you're visiting. With Avant Browser you can save this bandwidth by blocking the download of these flash files with just one easy click. Avant Browser also provides options to block downloads of pictures, videos, sounds and ActiveX components. With these options users can control their bandwidth and speed up page loading.

| 172902 | 2003-09-04 01:46:00 | Yep, I can see how that would be annoying for 56k people. But I think I have a serious problem with my machine - the gifs not working is just a symptom - graphics transferring from one page to another is bad news... |

| 172903 | 2003-09-04 01:50:00 | try uninstalling IE this gives you an option to fix it | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 172904 | 2003-09-04 01:56:00 | you can also use IEeradicator http:\\www.98lite.net then do a complete reinstall of IExplorer I personlly keep a compressed Image of My C: drive as back up so can restore in 10 15mins using driveimage 2002 on my 98SE PC . This alllows me to try new softaware and to do risky tweaks without having nightmares about having to do a complete 6 hour reinstall , updates etc |

Yes I think so too. Didn't know what to suggest apart from reinstall. Be interesting to know what you find. :) |

| 172906 | 2003-09-04 02:12:00 | what sort of graphics card do you have may need to do a complete reinstall of the drivers | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 172907 | 2003-09-04 02:21:00 | Oh no... this is what I was afraid of. It's a generic 'advent' laptop, bought in the UK. I have no disks, drivers, reinstall CD... nothing... Will try the IE uninstall 'repair', see what happens. If I don't come back, you'll know it's all gone horribly wrong. :o) |
