animated gifs not working in Windows XP and Internet Explorer.

[Andy]

When I load a certain files and internet sites that have
what I believe are animated gifs on my Windows XP
computer, I do not view the animated gif. I just get a box
with an "X" or still photo. However, when I view the same sites and
files on other computers there is no problem. For
example, you can go to www.allensilver.com, and look at
the animated gif that the host computer adds in at the top
of the screen. It does not play on my Windows XP
computer. Please advise.

The Internet explorer: tools, internet options, advanced tab, check
the box to play animations in web pages is already checked. Plus it
not only working on the web page but to the whole pc.

I appreciate all your help and thank you in advance.

Thanks,
Andy

If you right click the X and then left click Properties, you'll know for
sure what type of file you're not seeing. If this isn't happening at a
great many web sites, it's typical every so often that a web site creator
made a mistake in the code, or the image isn't on the server where it should
be. BTW, I tried the web site you're having trouble with, and it's down.
Maybe errors were discovered, and it's down while editing the HTML file.
Make sure that you delete your Temporary Internet Files on a regular basis.
If you don't, there are image problems that can arise. (Internet
Explorer/Tools Menu/Internet Options/General Tab/Temporary Internet
Files-Delete Files button/Delete Files box, click to put a checkmark in the
Delete Offline Content box, click OK)
