Computer question

[Jim Marshall]

I don't know if this is the right place to make a new post about this or not but here goes.

I know this isn't a very pressing problem with our computer but I am afraid it will affect something else on our computer. The little emoticons will not animate. Nothing on our computer animates. We get E-Mails and for wards and there are things that we know are supposed to animate but they don't. I am a member of a catfishing website and there are several good computer guys on there and no one seems to know what my problem is. Does any one have any suggestions?

Jim,

Which browser are you using?

Animated gifs not working ... check Zone Alarm

Just in case someone else has the same problem: Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer both stopped displaying animated gifs for me recently. It turns out that it's because of Zone Alarm, a program that is turning into a high maintenance pain in the ass. Anyway, to get the animations back, go to ZA's Privacy pane's Main tab and turn Ad Blocking to off. [Tags: zoneAlarm firefox InternetExplorer]

Mike I really do appreciate that information. We are using IE. We will give that a try and see what happens.

You may want to look in the Preferences for that machine, since it is happening in mail also. Windows or Mac? I would go to your settings and look around for something with "animate gifs" or something of the sort.

Jim:

Don't know if you have got your fix yet for the NON-amimating gif's?

If all else fails you might do this > Try this in IE @ the top:

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Click on Restore Defaults

Just a shot cause there are many factors that may need to be fleshed out for a fix for you.

Hope this helps ~

Sdtripper2, thank you for the suggestions but we got it straightened now and the little dickens are working again. Our emoticons are emoting once again.
