Too old to remember properly

[Bob Willson]

I have just upgraded my computer to give myself a 120gig HDD. Of course, this necessitated a complete reinstallation of the whole operating system. I cannot now get the .gif piccys to move in the browser windows and I'm buggered if I can remember how to turn them on again.

I loved Gemmi_babe's dancer but now all I get is a statue. This is very limiting. You could call this, "A statue of limitations"

Bob, not long done the same. You need to download and install Flash Player or shockwave from Macromedia. http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/

This one works but there is others. Should do the trick but if in doubt, ask a Geek

I look forward to the day when when you buy a hardrive and it already has a fully operational operating system on it but I could be dreaming.

Ok, I've done that, but it still isn't working.

Bob, Did the download complete with a test? and have you re-booted?

If it tested OK you need to ensure DX 9 is installed and working.

To do this go Start/Run and type in "dxdiag" then run the test and sure the version is 9b.

If its not working or old, download the update at;

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Then if that fails download and instal the following

http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/d...d/download.cgi?


After that call you can try upgrading your video card drivers which wont hurt anyway and then try a real Geek.

Bob, it may have something to do with Internet Explorer settings after the new load. All mine stopped working after installing Win XP SP 2 for some reason. I ended up having to install Java VM but we really need a proper Geek.

Grunt will probably be able to critique my advice and suggest something less time consuming

On internet explorer go to
Tools - Internet Options - Advanced.
Scroll down and make sure 'Play Animations in Web pages' is ticked.

The program you used to create the annimation originally might be an avenue to explore.
My annimation program requires me to use FILE>Export and not 'save as' when doing the works. Just trying to jog your memory, by the way it gets worse as you get older.

Geek, Geek, Geek now where's my Dcombobulator that should fix it

I figure if it has a semblance of working I'm doing OK !!

[Bob Willson]

Still doesn't work.

Tried all the above, no joy.

Oh well you'll just have to get a Mac then.

Okay, sorry Bob, I give up...Burn the B**tard.

Find a Geek, turn off your firewall or something I dunno.

I take it passed the DX 9 test??

You will burn in hell forever Peter.


HELLO GEEKS

Take the sledge hammer to it, I done that to a computer once, sure felt good.
Expensive, but good.
