I cant get IE7 to show some Animated GIF'S in some websites. I have XP on my
PC and normal fixed GIF's are no problem but animated ones dont even always
show a placeholder.

I have changed and tested many internet options including active x's and
ensured show animated is checked in Advanced tab, but no luck.

The problem also is with Affiliates acting as hosts but whose code comes
through the same distributor website, whose code i download, copy and paste
into my site and then publish to internet.

The image doesnt come up in dreamweaver design mode, nor in IE preview thru
dreamweaver, and doesnt show on the actually published site when viewed on my
PC. However, when i transfer the whole local site file via my network, to my
laptop which also has XP and IE7, everything works fine.

I have also navigated the public sites fine on 4 other pc's on 2 other
networks, and everything works fine and the images source fine through the
code i have entered on my pc; they just dont show on my pc.

I have Norton Personal Firewall on my PC but there is no msg from Norton and
I have even turned NPF off with no change in result.

Although Dreamweaver picks up some problems with the code re things like
upper case errors in OnMouseOver and <A> etc and small formatting errors like
the code not closing off img statement before </a> closure which it must do
for some browsers to accept, which i have changed, but Dreamweaver doesnt
pick up any img src problems at all

Can anyone shed any light on this problem please?
