IE 6 - cannot see animated GIFS

[W E B G U R L]

Can anyone tell me what setting I need to alter in IE6 as animated GIFs no longer animate
for me. As a web developer I need to see them.

I tested on another computer and they worked.

Thanks

This is not an Office question but try this:

See if this helps:

Why don't my animated gifs animate?

Take note of the mention of firewalls like @Guard as others like Zone
Alarm Pro and NIS may also have a disable option.

My newsreader does not recognise that group.

I'll try the msoft community site instead.

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general is the group for mainly IE7
beta posts at the moment.

Try an IE6 group instead.

IE6/OE6 newsgroups.

I don't know how you are trying to access them, but many, many people post
there.

 

[Alan Edwards]

That is not true.

They are very widely used.
http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...xm=12&as_maxy=2006&num=100&as_scoring=d&hl=en

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
is the one you want.
You can see the sort of traffic here (by date)
http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...xm=12&as_maxy=2006&num=100&as_scoring=d&hl=en

The ie6.browser group traffic is similar to this group and far more
relevant to IE6 questions.
