Opening Animated picture

[Deango]

Hi. I want to open several Xmas greetings that are animated. At
present, they just show a red X place--holder and in the Subject area it
says something about protecting the sender from knowing who I am and to
'click here' to download the images. I do that, but nothing happens
except the subject area disappears.
I have unchecked the box in OEX Tools/Options/Read/'Read all
messages in Plain Text'. And under Tools/Options/Security/ I have
unchecked the box 'Block images and other external content in HTML Email
and re-booted my machine.
What is the secret to viewing animations in OEX E----mail. Thanks.
Deango

Frank. Genius that you are; I went to Doug's site and in reading the
info there, it says:
"This script has not been tested on, nor is it intended for Windows XP".
That put me off a little.
I'm sure you know what your recommending, but thought I'd double check.
Thanks. Deango

I hadn't been there for a while. Try the manual method she gives:

Go to start/run and type:

regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll ... and then

regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll
