animated gif in XP - IE 6 - SP2 slower?
366139
I have XP - IE6 - SP2 too it was animating fairly quick i thought, there was kind of a delay to start over (the page was blank for a bit) though. But maybe that was intended.\n\nIt might help to delete your temp internet files.

Insert>Picture>From File> Browse to the GIF. It should be animated when you view the show.

Turn off the Luna interface (all the graphics) -- make it look like Win 98 and it will speed up significantly, especially on slower computers.

If the animated object is moving i.e. animated in the e-mail, you should be able to simply right-click on it, and do "save picture as..." and click "ok" and it should automatically save as an animated gif.\n\nAs far as I know too, jpg cannot be animated.

Which version of IE you are using? I recommend to update to IE7. For the first time, IE has realized the need for tabbed browsing in IE7. The new pages will open inside the same window as tab. So, it is expected to be faster.\nNow, your opening link in new window can become slow due to many reasons. You should delete temprary internet files. You can do it from tools>properties within IE and can also use third party software like ccleaner(but not absolutely necessary). Also, your connection speed is important. Check your firewall and antivirus setting if it is causing any problems. Sometimes firewall slow down things. I recommed zonealram for this. You need to allow the browser full access. another thing is that reduce the number of background tasks(the icons you see in the right bottom corner in windows).\n\nThe best suggestion I can give you is to use alternate browser such as Opera(www.opera.com) or firefox(www.firefox.com). personally, I like opera as it is very small size, lighting fast(http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html#winspeed), has all features bundled in and has best security record (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Vulnerabilities).\n\nHope you enjoy!

A little bit more... And check out the link for other tips to speed up your machine.\n\nNow to start open up Mozilla Firefox and in the address bar type ''about:config''.\n\n1. Find '' network.http.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n2. Find '' network.http.proxy.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n3. Find '' network.http.pipelining.maxrequests'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to 20.\n4. Find '' browser.turbo.enabled'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n5. Find '' network.dns.disableIPv6'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n6. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''nglayout.initialpaint.delay'' Then set its value to 0.\n7. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''browser.cache.memory.capacity'' and set a value that suits you for a cache size for this browser, I do reccomend setting a lower amount than 50mb as this will increase computer performance.E.g 16mb ( 16000). <- keep this higher  if you want to concentrate on browser performance.

sorry, I find (by using a few testing progroms)  that Opera is 25% faster than Explorer.\nIt will take a bit longer to load up initially, if that's what you mean. This I am not too sure how to fix but it doesn't bother me as I seldom turn it off.\nOut of all my browsers the quicker loading is IE6 so for a quick google search I might still use IE sometimes.

animated GIF\nA moving picture in GIF format, which is made up of a series of frames. When displayed, they provide an animated sequence that cycles over and over without stopping. Although popular on the Web, animated GIFs are larger than single-frame GIFs and take longer to download. Typically used for ad banners, the animation is usually confined to small areas of the image to keep the file size short. Very different than GIF and much more sophisticated, Flash is popular on the Web for instructional sequences as well as animations of all kind. Flash is an interactive format and its vector images take up much less space than GIF's bitmapped images. See Flash and GIF

They can.\n\nIf it is a simple static bitmap, then it will make no difference in performance, other then taking a tad longer to boot up in order to load it.\n\nIf you are useing a desktop that uses "Active Desktop", it can make a huge difference.  That was something that came out in '98, and allowed animated icons, and animated backgrounds.  Depending on how "active" they are, it can hamper performance.

umm gif isn't your best option, if you want on that still moves you sould use Macromedia Flash... it is supported by all browsers and is the most versatile animation today.

There is almost no way to do that unless it's TINY! If you make it any larger the quality would make it unreadable. Your best bet is a GIF image with extremely low compression and tiny size (20 x 20 pixels).

I think they mean animated gifs.  \nThey show as a static picture, not as an animation as they should.\nI have that problem at work.\nAnyone know how to fix it?

Write a code to animate the WINDOWS system TASK BAR.\n\nwatch out!!!! those date &time and network status ICONS should not fall down when you animate.

mozilla. It slows your computer less if you're on a limited connection speed and downloads text before graphics, letting you see the page sooner. Plus all the download options and skins are awesome!
