Animations are Gone!!

[DanGrease]

Well this is an issue I have recently discovered. I had it a while back and I couldnt find an answer to the problem. It seems that I cant see animations anymore. I dont know what it is, but it seems to only affect IE. I use both IE and Mozilla Firefox and with Mozilla there is no issue at all. But with IE I cant see animations. For example the eyes on my avatar should move, to me they are stuck, no animation. Also super_gerbils avatar is still, and Outs I cant even see. Blank. And the smilies I see without any animation at all. What can it be? I use anti spyware programs (Spybot and Ad-Aware) and clean my computer regularly. Anti virus and Firewall are also available in my computer. I have cleaned all the cookies, temporary IE files, eferything you could imagine with no results. This didnt seem to happen when I used Norton Internet Security program, firewall, but I cant use it no more since I am behind a hardware firewall and it gives me issues. So I am using Zone Alarm with no problems at all. But could it be ZA that is making this? I mean its ad and pop-up blocker? I havent disabled it yet to see if thats the cause of the problem, but still I dont think it is. Please help me. I am clueless

I disabled Zone Alarm and voila! Now I can see animations. But why this? I want to be able to see animations while it blocks ads and pop-ups. Is this something that can be done? I dont want to change firewall because of this. What should I do?

Problem solved! There was an option in this category in ZA that said animations. If you have it checked ZA will block animations. So I unchecked it and now I can see animations again. And still it blocks pop-ups and ads. It was simple after all, just couldnt find a solution.

Hey Dan, thanks!

Especially for the screen shot. I had no idea my ZA was blocking animations!

Well someone has to be the first one right?
Well Since I found the solution by myself I wanted to share here at TechIMO so that if other people are experiencing the same problem they can fix it. Seems that it was helpful for people after all huh? I love to help!
