Animation problems even after critical update

We are working on a large presentation. We created a
morphine animated gif. It works great on the 2002
machines but did not work on the boss's running 2003. We
have downloaded the updates and the gif still will not
animate. He has imported as picture, movie etc. nothing.
What silly setting are we all missing? Does he have to
import the main presentation into a new document that is
post patch? We are tired! Thanks for any new ideas
 
You may just need to change the animation setting in the GIF header for
people using PPT 2003. 2003 and 2002 (and 2000, for that matter) all handle
aniGIF differently. (Don't shoot the messenger!)

I can't find any information on the details, but I think it's something
about 2003 not recognizing an infinite loop or something. Mmm, or maybe it's
something like 2003 plays the GIF one time less than whatever's set in the
header, so 0 setting there will cause the GIF to not play.

At any rate, experiment with different GIF headers in your GIF creation
application.
