My gif animations load and play fine in something like
Windows picture and fax viewer. But internet explorer
loads them and starts to play them, but then the frames
get slower and slower, my 2 GHz processor maxes out to
100% and everything gets lagged up... i have the latest
versions and updates of everything, i keep my computer
clean from adware and spyware and other junk... windows
XP pro anyone help? (oh p.s. i'm on cable connection...
it is not a connection issue because it's the same with
files stored on my hard disk.)
 
i can load a page full of gifs, it slows down liek crazy
after a few seconds... it will go slower and slower till
it gets back to the beginning of the animation, when it
will speed up again and then begin to slow down again...

but the stragne part it, i can have several animations on
a page, but all i have to do is right-click on one of
them and click properties. as soon as that properties
dialog box comes up (and after i close it too) all the
animations on that page speed up and run at proper speed
till i refresh the page or go to another page.
