About XP
I have windows XP home on my laptop, and am quite happy with it, after some concerns when I first got to use it. Everything is resolved but now I discover a problem that has me stumped.
This computer does not display .gif animated images correctly. They do not move, what is going on, can this be a setting I have not found, or am I just unlucky?
No animated icons, or graphics display any movement. So, the cute moving smilies just sit there, motionless. CTFuzzy's bouncing man is in mid squash, and the walking goblin elsewhere is just standing around, looking bored.

I'm thinking memory management. Check out the page file size. Here is a reliable info source for the things you will need to know:

I love it when people assume I know what the heck I am doing.. Thank you for the link, Fuzz, but I have to admit that it meant less than nothing to me. It spoke of things I never knew existed, so I did as it suggested, and was fascinated with the things revealed. All I could figure out is that the Page file usage is zero, and the memory usage is less than 50%..
I have 5** meg of ram, and am using less than 230meg. with a bunch of programs running.
And still, the gifs don't move.
I wish that life had stayed at the early 90's level, when I knew things about computers.

I think it must be in XP itself, as none of the browsers play animated gifs..
I told you all computers hate me.. They are trying to kill me.
