Hi all!

Our application has a wait dialog that has an animated gif on it that
periodically gets shown from a separate thread while the application
does some processing on the main thread.

We've worked out all of the kinks with this (or so we thought), but
just installed to a new laptop and the gif is not animating. This new
machine is an Itronix GoBook XR1 (IX270) with an Intel Core Duo CPU
[email protected] processor.

The exact same release works on all of our other machines.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Peter,

Thanks for the response. IE has animations enabled. We found some
comments about that on newsgroups and checked that before I posted
here.

There also doesn't seem to be any virus scan or 3rd party firewall
installed on the machine.

Note just for clarity, this is a winforms application with an embedded
gif in a pictureBox control on the window . . .

I created a simple test application with a window that has a PictureBox
on it with the gif (eliminates all of the thread management code which
is ok in a test case). That also works on all machines but the one in
question.

Just to follow up with anyone who may run accross my post . . .

I found that I had to implement image animator, even though the window
in question was already running on a background thread. Once I did
that, no more problems!!!
