MSIE 6.0 won't display animated *.GIF pictures --WTF??

MSIE 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows XP Pro w/SP1 -- I have gone through the internet options and all web animations and such are enabled.. it's now getting to the point of being anoying. What the heck is wrong with this thing??

 

Try clearing your Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and History.

 

cookies too?? That's gonna log me out of a ton of sites (big hastle).... I guess I'll clear the other two first and see if that fixes it..

that didn't help... I guess the cookies will have to go too http://majorgeeks.com/vb/images/icons/icon9.gif


that didn't fix it either.. luckily it only took me three guesses to figure out my password

 

What firewall do you use?

IF you have zone alarm, that might be the problem

 

Zone Alarm Pro..... I use it on my other PC and it doesn't have any problems displaying animations??


Yep, that was it.. but why? Is there some configuration changes I can make on Zone Alarm so that .gif animations will play??

 

check the following setting

open zone alarm
go to privacy
main
then check add blocking if you have it active then the gifs will not work

either medium or High

try that

turn it off

 

NICE! Thanks man.

 

I assume that did it


No problem glad I could help

I have tried for a while to try to figure out on how to keep that setting on low and still be able to view gifs. If I ever finally find out you will be the first to know

 

Well... I just clicked on "custom" and enabled animations, it's still blocking pop-ups
