Thanks GMan, I'll look into it more thoroughly and see what I can find. On another note though, I do have Vista, and if someone was looking for a good reason to NOT do an upgrade, I can tell you that in my mind, it's just a waste of money. All it has is a different interface, and a different place to find the same things that are in XP. I suppose it's could be more secure then XP, but I didn't have any problems with XP as far as security. I never did get hacked into. If my new laptop didn't come with Vista, I'd never upgrade to it. Just my thoughts though. (Kinda like upgrading to Office 2007) Rick -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of GMan Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 6:04 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Animations not running in IE7 Rick, The cause probably won't be easy to find. I am not running Vista yet, so I probably won't be of much help other than the following suggestions. Just keep in mind that GIF animation support is a basic ability of all browsers and won't be broken unless explicitly commanded by a setting to turn them off. That setting is somewhere in your system and is most likely attached to either a security app or a multimedia registry control. First, go into Control Panel and then look through all of the multimedia related controls you can find (sound, image, themes, etc. are all related to multimedia). Look inside both Windows Firewall & AVG's settings. Note that something like this will probably be hidden in more Advanced option areas which are usually accessed by clicking an advanced button on a regular settings page. I would also right click on the Start button and select Properties. It may be hiding in there somewhere, too.
