Hi,

I have this vbscript which detects a CD-rom left inserted and then brings up an IE window with an animated.gif.

It works and has worked for a year now with IE 8 and IE 9, but now IE 10 and 11 is being rolled out, it just displays a blank window in IE 10 and IE 11, can anyone help modify it to make it work with all versions of Internet Explorer and display the gif within the IE?

Does something prevent gifs from appearing in IE 10 onwards?

Thanks,
RK

Hi, tried that, makes no difference.
Any other suggestions?

Managed to get it kind of working using

With IE.Document.ParentWindow.screen
vWid= .AvailWidth
vHt= .AvailHeight
End With

Problem is the IE window is not the same dimension as the image. GIF is 952 x 714, how do I make the IE window auto adjust to the centre of the screen to display the GIF correctly. At the moment the gif is almight tiled when displayed on different resolutons. What can I do to ensure the IE window is in the centre of the screen and adjusts the GIF to fit?

Thanks for posting, but has to be in vbscript.

Just need to know how I go about centering the gif file in IE so that it works on all screen solutions. At the moment I get repeat if the resolution is higher

Just wanted to add this works kind of ok n a Single Screen.
The problem mainly occurs when you have dual monitors with a stretched screen, it must be taking the calculations based on both screens combined.

IS there a way just to take the reolution of the main screen on the left?
