.jpg .gif (java?) active ICONS QUIT?

[ncsailors]

I built a website (www.usps.org/localusps/pamlico) and used "active" gif figures here and there - like a "spinning propellor", and a "moving compass needle"? Then today I downloaded and ran a run with the "SPYBOT" anti-bad things application freebee.

Suddenly - when I now look at my website (www.usps.org/localusps/pamlico) none of these formerly moving gif file images - "MOVE"??????????????????

What happened? Did I kill something in my XP Explorer browser?

Take a look at my website above, and see if they are still active and moving when you look at them!

Everything loaded fine on your web site from my puter. Try going into your internet properties and reset to default. If that does not work try loading another browser i.e. FireFox.

You can get Firefox here

My website's animated GIF's worked fine til today. I ran SYBOT bad-stuff
removal application. Maybe it removed some IE stuff? I tried loading
DirectX from Microsoft, for XP - nothing different. I went to IE and
set back to "defaults". Still my animated GIF's on website
www.usps.org/localusps/pamlico
are dead still? What's a fella to do?

Fred,

Did you try Firefox?

This is a brand new PC: XP Home, Compaq, Presario, Celeron 2.7g,
and includes latest updates to IE 6.x

I don't, at this point, want to abandon Microsoft and go with yet
another "browser". Why would I want to do that? I'm trying to
figure out why IE no longer supports "animated GIF's", the ones
that worked yesterday and the ones I built into my website.

.............. I've tried loading DirectX from usoft - no change.
.................I tried resetting "defaults" in IE's media advanced
settings - no change

All I can figure is SYBOT killed IE's ability to run animated GIF's?
I'm ready to throw SYBOT away - but I fear it already did the
damage. This new WMART PC, doesn't even come with a XP HOME
licensed CD - to reload Windows XP HOme!

This new PC has some sort of CD creating system CD's from a
temp partition on the hard drive. Tommorow I'll try making them,
and doing a "system restore" back to the way PC ways 10 days ago
when I bought it...............

Thanks,
Fred

I'm kind of having kind of the same problem with IE.

Example the GIFs in my signature (logo and computer) are little white boxes with red X's in them. So I downloaded FireFox which is a great alt Browser I do recommend you try it. Anyway they don't even show up.

I tinkered with my security settings and they appeared then the next day they disappeared again.

It's weird.
