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,
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.
Peace,
GMan
