OK, does anyone know why the bouncy guys (Mr. Pink and Mr. Green) will not work for me anymore. They are frozen with their little arms up above their head/bodies. I was at work earlier today, and they were fine there. (shhhh, don't tell, I've been DISing at work)

But at home, they don't work. I am running XP and we do have some goofy firewall program, but they have worked before with the firewall.

I have also re-booted the PC at home, and they are still not bouncie
 
It sounds like your computer may be stopping the download somehow. Do you see other animated clipart ok?
 
Yup, I see other animation in folk's signatures. The wavey smilie guy doesn't wave either. I'm thinking it's the dumb firewall program.
 
I have no idea, but Mr. Cricket may be able to help you tomorrow. :)
 

debster812:

If you're using Internet Explorer, try checking the following:

- Under the Tools menu, go to Internet Options...
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Scroll through the options until you come to the Multimedia Section
- Make sure 'Play animations in web pages' is checked

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the help, Jim. It's always welcome here. :)
 
Ooohh, thanks Jim, I will try it when I get home tonight.
 
That sounds like a good start.
 
Hmmmm, still no bouncing. I have done a complete reboot (powered down) and checked out what Psiklops suggested, and the "play animation in webpages" was checked.

Any other suggestions? Like I said, not the biggest tragedy, but now it's just annoying me. :D
 
Bumping back up, still not working.

Allow animation is checked
The stupid firewall is off
I have re-booted, and powered down, and powered back up again.
Am I doomed to have no bouncing guys?

I see other animation in signatures and clippies. Hmmmmm :confused:
 
You are not clicking the stop button are you?

Mr. JC,

Nope, no hitting stop. I thought that might be it, but I have not touched the stop button tonight. Hmmmmm? :confused: I know other people see them when I use them, it's just weird to me. No biggie.

Thanks for your help
