what do i do to get them to appear?
I need my smileys!!

IE6

tools

internet options

advanced tab

multimedia

check box: allow animation

BWX · Feb 4, 2004, 12:24 PM

It could also be a software firewall blocking the animation, or blocking them altogether if they aren't showing up at all. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Markius · Feb 4, 2004, 12:25 PM

if you mean "play animations in web pages" then it is checked

this sucks

Did you do all the updates for IE6 ?

Markius · Feb 4, 2004, 12:50 PM

i did all critical updates...

PangingJr · Feb 4, 2004, 01:10 PM

you didnt tell what's your web browser so i assumed its IE,
try checking the Internet Options -> Security tab.
and View -> Encoding settings and the rest, see in below article..
Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web Sites in Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283807

just noticed its IE..

reinstall IE, if that does not help, go to - http://www.dougknox.com/ and use "Site Search" on left side of the page, search for "How do I repair Internet Explorer in Windows XP" you can D/L a script or see commmand line to reinstall IE from the page.

Markius · Feb 5, 2004, 03:48 AM

i just reinstalled IE
and still no difference >

i did a fresh install of XP on a pc i sold to my friend (same day as this pc infact) and it has no problems with smileys...

i might have to format again : /

PangingJr · Feb 5, 2004, 04:34 AM

do you also having prob with opening a new or second browser window from a link within IE? if yes, then you may have had the HyperText Transfer Protocol file type missing. i've seen many ppls having this eventho thiss uncommon for a flash format system. i'll look it up...

---------------
you may find the reformat is much easier for you..
or you can also try the following just before reformat...,

Open CMD window, and enter each command line, wait till you see a dialog box that say "DllRegisterServer in xxxxxx.dll succeeded" before enter the next ones.

regsvr32 MSHTML.DLL
regsvr32 URLMON.DLL
regsvr32 SHDOCVW.DLL
regsvr32 OLEAUT32.DLL
regsvr32 ACTXPRXY.DLL

Next, Open Internet Options, under Programs tab click on "Reset Web Settings"
then reboot your PC and see if that helps.
