    Do you not have an option on your web page software that lets you do something like "maintain your web site"

    Perhaps you have got to start from scratch with the gif picture and put onto your web page.

    Or am I misunderstanding your original question.

    Bob have you fixed the problem? do you see my gif dancing LOL

    When you went into internet options/tools/advanced and did what David suggested, did you "apply" the changes?

    I'm not all that familiar with XP as I run ME but they don't differ that much, XP just looks prettier

    Sometimes certain things don't install properly/download fully and need to be re-done several times, like our wonderful VM files. Sometimes they go walk about too. I use to get error messages as I booted up about VM files being lost or in error, but now I scan disk everytime I boot and haven't a problem since.

    Maybe someone here can go thru with you what you have checked and unchecked under your advanced tab.

    With mine, I have under "Microsoft VM" the only one checked is JIT compiler for virtual machine.
    And under "mulitmedia" all are checked except for 'always show radio toolbar' and ' show image download placeholders'

    Hope the problem rectifies soon for you.
    Cheers,
    Gemi

    Hi gemi_babe

    No, sorry, you're still a statue.

    I consider myself to be fairly expert with computers as I have been using them foir the last 30 years. This is just a stupid little glitch that ,as you say, is probably just a bad install somewhere.
    Hi Jow, The problem is on my computer, not with the avatars. If this were not so then none of you would see the moving avatars. The avatars are stored on the UBeaut system for downloading to everybody.

    Bob, I just noticed that its not working on my computer but it is on SWMBO's computer. (They are identical machines) I havent put XP SP 2 on the missus machine yet so it'll be some stupid setting in IE I reckon.

    Al suggestion is looking good.

    Cheers

    Hi Bob

    Are you having any other problems in your browser cos this may just be a symptom of something else. Can you see animated gifs in other webpages or is it just here. DO you have any other problems in this forum, eg layout problems, buttons, etc.

    It sounds like you could have one of two problems:
    1. The software that displays the animations is suss - have you installed any graphics packages that may be hijacking the gifs. Let us know if you have - maybe try double-clicking a gif and seeing what program opens. Let us know if it is something unusual and we can see if it is contributing.
    2. A setting in explorer is wrong - you've done the obvious one which is the "play animations in web pages", the other thing to try is your security settings as it may be a problem with scripting or activex that has been turned off by high security settings. This forum uses fancy scripting to display the gifs and there may be a problem there. Try dropping your security level and see if that makes a difference. Don't leave your security too low, just do it to find the problem. There is a article in Microsoft KB that describes the opposite of what you want - ie how to stop your browser displaying active content - but you may be able to work backwards.
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...036&Product=ie

    You've said you are fairly expert on computers after 30 years (did you start on punch cards?) so these should be OK for you. Just be careful to put your security settings back if it doesn't work and don't go visiting lots of other websites while you security settings are low.

    Hope something here helps,

    Simon

    Default Zone Alarm if you have it?

    Bob, I emailed my friendly geek mate and he has had several queries on this since XP SP 2. But read this, go down the page a bit. Fixed mine, it was Zone Alarm "Ad Blocking"
