Sorry for the obvious, but did you check
Tools | Internet Options |Advanced and scroll down to Multimedia?

Everything is checked except display image placeholders. That is unchecked.
But thanks for the thought!
 
Hi Steve :-)

Along with all the other good suggestions, you might also take a look at the
following:

Zone Alarm Pro can prevent animation from working. If you have it installed
open the program, go to the Privacy Tab and click on the custom button. Be
sure that the option to block animation is turned to OFF. If you don't have
ZA Pro, then disregard.

also...

Animated GIFs don't work:

Why don't my animated gifs animate?
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers.htm#ani_gif

Other programs such as @Guard can disable animated .gifs, therefore, be sure
no programs are set to disable gifs..

Make sure your .gifs are associated to Internet Explorer. Click on a .gif in
windows explorer, IE should open to display it. :

Try Doug Knox's script utility:
http://www.dougknox.com/utility/scripts_desc/fixpix.htm

IE>Internet Options>Advanced tab>Multimedia section>"Play animations in web
pages">Apply>OK out.

or....

Go to Start>Run and type in the window:
regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll (all versions of IE) ... and then
regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll (IE5 upwards)

If using WindowsME the command is:

regsvr32.exe /i thumbvw.dll

You should soon see a *succeeded* dialogue box after each command.
Click ok, and then reboot

Hope this helps :-)

there! Thanks everyone!!!! :-)

Hi,
Check any third-party security programs you have running to see if one of
them is configured to block animations, active content, scripting, etc.

See: http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers.htm#ani_gif for some other
possibilities.

I have the same problem with IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp-sp2-gdr.050301-1519.
Animated gifs play when I open them with IE off-line but not on-line. Play
animations is checked in the IE options, the po-up blocker is disabled. As
far as I can tell my third party security (Norton) is not interfering.

I can see animated gifs play when I use Firefox instead of IE.

Any ideas?
