172909 2003-09-04 03:26:00 Well, I did the IE 'repair' and it didn't... same things occurring. I have to work out whether the problems are big enough for me to get another XP disk and reinstall. Last computer I reinstalled was a 98SE, and don't know how to go about it with XP... I mean, I had a licensed copy of the software - laptop has a little certificate sticker - can I get just borrow a CD and reinstall?

I could always format the drive and go for Linux instead. ;o)

172910 2003-09-04 03:42:00 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.

Go to IE tools/internet options/advanced/multimedia. Ensure the option to show animations is turned on.

If no joy, make sure your .gifs are associated to Internet Explorer - if you click on a .gif in windows explorer, IE should open to display it.

172912 2003-09-10 05:48:00 Oh my god. It was so easy. Zone Alarm pro was blocking animations, and this was causing other web graphics to go screwy and display in the wrong places. I was this close <--> to reinstalling windows XP and all the nightmares that would have entailed (nearly two years of customising my laptop - sad but true)

Thanks! I'm Fixed!
