Animations are not animated anymore
« on: February 05, 2007, 10:08:16 PM »
Hello. Recently animations that were animated are now still pictures. I have tried the Firefox and Internet explorer and it shows animated gifs as still pictures. I think this has happened before but they came back over a short period of time. It has been about 3 days now and the animations are still motionless pictures. Does anyone know why animated gifs on my computer are not animated?

     dan_plus_o...... What operating system are you using ? Have you installed a firewall recently by any chance ?

    I am running Windows XP SP2. I have not installed a firewall or changed any firewall settings recently.

      dan_plus_o   Is there anything else that isnt functioning properly since the animation stopped ?
      Did you change any setting just prior to this issue .....?
      Does anyone else use this machine ?
      [highlight]Have you checked in tools/internet options/advanced ....... to make sure that "play animations in web pages" is ticked ?[/highlight]

      "Play Animations in Web Pages" is ON. My dad uses the computer but he wouldn't know how to change anything. My Brother is on the computer hardly ever and I don't think he would change anything either.

      Everything seems to function properly since the animations stopped.

        dan_plus_o....  Odd ...... however ... if you know the machine to be pest free, you could always try system restore and pick a restore date when the animations were working .

        let us know if that works.

        Would that mess up the changes I have made? The animations stopped working when I didn't change anything, but they weren't working for a few days and I did some changes since they stopped working. I made my D partition smaller and moved the space over to my C partition. So if I do system restore would that mess something up?

          That was done 2 days after the animations stopped working.

          No changes were made around the time the animations stopped working though.
