Animated gif doesn't always animate

[RichS]

I have an animated gif (205k) in my webpage that animates for most people who view it. However, on one person on our intranet it just shows the first frame. There are 30 frames total. All of us are using IE 6. The <td> is as follows:

<tr bgcolor=&quot;gainsboro&quot;>
<td width=&quot;30%&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;><IMG src=&quot;images/CeleritMorph.gif&quot;></td>
<td width=&quot;70%&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;HeaderBold&quot;>  New Website - Celerit.com</td>
</tr>


Does anyone know why this might be?

You can set it in the browser

In IE:
- Tools
- Internet Options
- Advanced

Then go to the subject &quot;Multimedia&quot;.
There you see something like &quot;Play animations&quot;
(I'm not sure about the correct text because I don't have an Englisch IE-version here on my PC)

That person did not selected this checkbox. All the others have. Just select the checkbox and it is fixed.
Don't forget to refresch the page after that.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the fast response! The &quot;Multimedia/play anmimations&quot; box is checked appropriately. One thing I found out that is different is that this person is running Zone alarm and has several dll's disallowed.
