plays on my local machine, but cannot for the life of me get it to play
in internet explorer, but it plays on other computers and IE browsers of
my friends and family. I have tried completely cleaning out and clearing
ie history, cache, temp, everything. Checked IE settings, animations are
set to play, ad blocker is off, etc... Ohter animations will play, I
have verified by going to sites with animations, no go. Please help. Any
suggestions?

I think I've seen that animation in a user's sig on planetamd64.com . Have
you been there? Don't remember the user's name, though.

Is the link you sent supposed to be animated? It doesn't move for me.

OK, I just saved the pic to my desktop and opened it with the Opera browser.
It moves!
I wonder if it's some kind of IE security setting?

Vista doesn't support animated gifs

You can play animated GIFs with third party applications running under
Vista, XnView for example, just that Explorer and Photo Gallery won't
animate them. Kind of odd that if your use IE7 to go to a folder on a
Vista system it WILL animate the file. Seems just like more sloppy hit
or miss programming on Microsoft's part if part of their included
applications do mixed things.

What are you seeing Dave, if you go to a web site that has animated
GIFS IE7 won't play them right?

if vista does not support animated gifs, then, pray tell, how do you
explain me being able to view all other animated gifs. and "if" vista is
the culprit, well, what do you suggest? how will using firefox help me
if i still have vista? doesn't mesh, sorry.

Since animated GIF's are sort of out of style and old technology I had
to hunt on my system to find a handful. My experience is below, your
mileage may vary. Running 32 bit version of Vista Business.

Applet Result

Windows Explorer shows 1st frame, won't animate
Photo Gallery shows 1st frame, won't animate
IE7 Browser will open and animate file on system

animations (ALL of them are playing ON vista IN IE7, except this one
particular one). But yet THIS ONE doesn't play in IE7 ( not specific to
vista ).

XP Pro SP2:

1. IE7: No

2. Opera 9.21: Yes

3. Firefox 2.0.0.4: Yes

5. IE7 for another web animation image: Yes

> ( not specific to vista ).

Yes

>ALL of them are playing ON vista IN IE7, except this one particular one).

Likely to be the case.

So, you might check with the author of the image, and just in case you are
the author, it has not been done correctly. I don't know animation images
that well, sorry.

Hope this helps and good luck.
