Problem with images in IE

[Knoj]

I have Windows XP SP2. Within the last 6 days something weird has
happened with Internet Explorer. I have the following 2 problems, that I
believe might me connected somehow.

1st. I lost the ability to view animated graphics. When I visit a site
that I know has animated gifs I can see the gif, however it shows me the
first frame loop only and won't animate. I've gone to many sites, and
even tried running the animated gifs directly from my hard drive and
none will animate.

2nd. I can't save gif files from the internet. When I try right clicking
on a graphic to save it, I only get the option to save as a png file or
a bmp file. If I drag a gif file from a webpage to my desktop it saves
it as a png file rather than a gif. This problem occurs on all websites
and only appears to affect gif files. Jpg files seem to be fine. I
have been able to verify that these files are gif and not png.

I have not installed any software in the last month or so and this
started about a week ago. I have scanned for viruses with new
definitions without resolution. I have also done a complete system scan
for adware, spyware, and the like. This too has not helped.

Any help you could provide me with is greatly appreciate it. Thanks in
advance.

Why don't my animated gifs animate?

For the .gif problem, see if this command helps, from Start, Run:

regsvr32 /i mshtml

-and-

Make sure that the .GIF Content Type settings are correct

Open Regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif
In the right-pane, set "Content Type" value to "image/gif"
