You don't need a program for .gif files, its a part of windows to understand them, also that GIF you posted isn't moving for me either. also my avatar isnt moving for me either! so i dont think its a problem with your computer :s

if you see bush banging the drums, it truly means i'm missing something. because at school i can see teh GIF moving perfectly. i'm using firefox and IE is the same.

It's probably has something to do with firefox, because I can see it and I have some old version of internet explorer. lol Did you try using a different web browser? I'm just guessing. Firefox has always been a pain for me. I cant play any rpg games at all with firefox. I only use it when I'm using a search engine.

I've found out The PROBLEM!!!!when i just reformatted my computer earlier this afternoon. while i was just installing my zonealarm i was at my photobucket when i suddenly saw that the animations were moving! at first i thought it was because i had just installed firefox 2 but then after the set up for zone alarm was finished the GIF had stopped moving and i wondered. currently at 11:18 p.m. i went to zonealarm.com and checked some things out and found some very interesting topics about zl problems when i bumped into a GIF thread. it was the goddarn privacy thing!
here is a picture.
you need to turn off the animation block or simply turn off ad blocking. i really don't have any pop-ups so its ok for me to turn it off because i don't go to any unknown sites.
