Backoff: Can't be due to lack of information, so you were just lazy, right? :P

honestly, I just found out it was out last week lol. I don't worry about FF like I used to with IE. Not as many loopholes so you don't need to update every 14 hours.

where do you go to upgrade? My little green upgrade button seems to be for add-ins.

Eriisa:iM AT WORK AND ON ie, BUT FROM MEMORY IT IS IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNERlol.....oops caps sorry....or is it the bottom right hand corner ROFLMBO :)

Backoff: the good thing about version 1.5 is that now you won't have to. This version has automatic upgrade integrated in it.

My PC stopped animating animations
I dont know what happened.
At first I thought it was just BK emoticons then I went to my chess forum and none of those emoticons were working either.
(my curser is animated and works and also I see animated banners) But nothing else is animated on web pages.. (smileys, emoticons and the like)
Even my own set of smileys dont work anymore.
http://gkwarriors.com/smileys/

I have checked all my settings and dont see anything different.
I even upgraded to the new 1.5 firefox but that didnt help either.

Then I checked on IE and they didnt work there either. So its not just firefox :(

Any ideas on where to look to fix this problem?


Thanx,
Eric

Arctic Warrior: Just a stab in the dark here.. could it be your graphics card?? maybe it is going out on you.. *shrugs shoulders & flips hands to side in a Who Knows kind of way*

Try Ctrl + F5. When my emoticons stick and don't move I just ctrl+ F5 and it makes em work again.. Can't hurt to try..
* Or is it Ctrl+ shift F5.. hmmm..
Pretty sure it is Ctrl+F5

ScarletRose: I just upgraded that a couple months ago.
Nvidia GeForce FX 256MB

So that couldnt be it...

Rose:
Just tried that, didnt seem to do anything but reload the page...
Still no animations :(

Arctic Warrior: maybe cleaning your cache might help ? clean your history, cookies, temporary internet files, cache, etc.

Hrqls:

I clean those every time I close my browser (about 50 times a day)

Arctic Warrior: have a look at playBunny's remark. it can also be that your firefox browser uses the same setting (regkey) to set gif animation that IE uses. so the setting can be inherited, even if you don't use IE.

you can try also a non-browser program that shows animated gifs, there's a load of free ones on download.com and others. that's just to check if your pb is somehow browser related or something else.

playBunny:

I checked IE and that box is check marked.. I cant find it for Firefox tho.
But if its checked in IE and I cant see the animations then the problem still isnt solved.

grrrrr
makes me so mad

rabbitoid:
I can view the animations just fine outside the browser as I have just checked...
(opened up in windows picture viewer)

:(

Arctic Warrior: try the off/on routine:
uncheck animation
save settings, quit browser
start browser, check animations
well?

for firefox, I don't see either where it is accessible from the menu. You can change it by editing your prefs.js file. the key is:

// Image animation mode: normal, once, none.
// This pref now has UI under Privacy & Security->Images.
user_pref("image.animation_mode", "normal");

there's a lot of info in http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

(I use Linux, but I think it's the same for windows)

Well thanx for the responding. Unfortunatly I never fixed the issue and now just not even worrying about it. Just disappointed :(

Arctic Warrior:Yes correct,but i know windows needs more than 256 MBs to be compatable,i tryed it on the diagnostics screen.

Marfitalu: Make sure, if you choose your CD-RW drive to work on it. Dont use Image Recorder.

Marfitalu: ...i see it here: http://liquid.cz/cdrw.jpg

Marfitalu: That is ok. Hmm..., Trz to use smaller speed of formating CD-RW, compatible with medium and recorder. If still cant use it, i recomend buz another manufacture medium.

Marfitalu: It seems that rewritable CD´s you have bought are not compatible with your writer.

If possible, try to exchange it by another types of CD in shop you bought previous ones.

What kind of CD driver do you have?
It can be that you bought faulty or defective CD´s . Try to find some app using to find out all infos about your CD´s for example in www.cdmediaworld.com. Maybe that can help.

I have always had trouble when trying to use CD-RW's I messed with them for a long time, then figured out it was much simpler and even cheaper to just burn it to regular CD-R, then burn a new copy if needed and throw the old one away.

Does anyone know about MP3 players? My daughters has started saying 'dos error please format' when you turn it on, but going through the menu to format it, everything is 'no file'.

How can i remove an extension on firefox? I have a couple added that I don't want now.

Eriisa: Go to Tools, Extensions.

Choose one, and click unistall.

I knew there had to be an easy way!

Thanks BBW!

Baked Alaskan: Do you have Java enabled? You should. Test it here
Also in Firefox enter----> about:config
and see what the image.animation.mode has.
Mine has default/string/normal.
Yours should have that too....

Pythagoras: Well, that "tester" tells me my Java is OK, but "I can NOT do applets", which is ridiculously wrong :) I mean, how can it say "indeed" in the first 2 tests and "NOT" in the third??? Especially since I also play in Pocket Monkey, where Java applets are the heart of their system :)

So, everyone, please stick with the OFFICIAL tester:

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

There are no 3 tests!

The 1st box/test says "something".

If this "something" is exactly like the second box(that you thought it was another test) then you have Java enabled and it's working!

If this "something" is exactly like the third box(that you thought it was another test) then Java is not working properly in the Internet navigator you use to see that page.....

Well i said that the 3 boxes there were no 3 tests....Only 1 with the other 2 be just explanations.....

That's such a poorly designed web page. The two "explanation boxes" serve only to confuse.

To confuse....? If someone read the page will not be confused....If you just read the boxes then yes you will be....

playBunny: Well i didn't design that page nor i have any participation or relation to them so i don't care.....

ps. There are no 3 tests! and then Well i said that the 3 boxes there were no 3 tests... Actually you implied the 3 boxes, which isn't the same.

I didn't implied the 3 boxes. It's what i take for granted that we speak about the first 3 boxes!
Here is why:

I answered to WhiteTower's question that was(the important part is shown with bold):
"Well, that "tester" tells me my Java is OK, but "I can NOT do applets", which is ridiculously wrong :) I mean, how can it say "indeed" in the first 2 tests and "NOT" in the third???

and i said:
"There are no 3 tests!"
meaning:
"There are no 3 tests in the 3 boxes you said!"
that means:
"There are no 3 tests in the first 3 boxes in that page."
so you see that i didn't mean:
"There are no 3 tests in that page!"

No! The "in the 3 boxes you said" is supplied since i answered a question and i take it as a hypothesis, that is all the parts of the question excluding the parts that ask something, are taking as valid ones.
So the "in the 3 boxes you said" is not implied by me suddenly to make my statement "There are no 3 boxes!" correct, but it was already a valid one....


For example if Perosn-A asks: "Do you have 3 exactly dollars to give me at 3 May 2006?"
When i answer: "Yes i have" i already mean the 3 May 2006 and the 3 dollars and i don't have to repeat them, and i don't mean the "Yes i have", for any other date ot amount of money.....

I wanted to use a pencil but it reminds me something that i didn't want to start this all over again......

"Those" is not needed as i already said since it is obvious that i speak about the contents of his question and not for something else.....
Also WhiteTower didn't talk about some random 3 tests in the page but about the "first 2 tests and NOT in the third" that means for the FIRST 3 tests....

playBunny, Pythagoras: I'm gonna have to choose my words REEEALLY carefully around you guys!!!

What I was implying with my previously-poor working were the three boxes. The still-poor design of that page makes you think that whatever is IN the boxes reflects the reality that applies to your tested computer. If it says "indeed", it means you're OK. Then the third box is stupidly programmed to say NOT when it actually means INDEED, if only a less poor sentence was chosen to surround the latter...

You know, just to be on the safe side. And throw in a sharpener, too.

I mean my write and erase device. I usually use my write only device on my non-volatile storage medium, but sometimes a pencil works better when the need to erase might be desirable.

playBunny: Well, NOW I notice "LIVE" and "sample" indicators next to the boxes. I certainly cannot recall seeing them the first time - but in any case, what about the 2 boxes reading "run applets" and the third, negative sample reading "do applets"? Q.E.D. even if I was partially blind first time around :)

playBunny: Damn! Coincidence.......? This is strange....

playBunny: Well, if that guy's watching us somehow, how come he ain't changed the "do applets" in the 3rd box?... [looking suspiciously around the corners of the board for spy cams]

HI everybody.
what antivirus you suggest?

For a free one and a very good one try:
+-|__|-+

ali: clamav; <rant>though I personally despise anti viruses. They're a kludge (at best) that is working on preventing a known threat exploting a vulnerability (often due to design flaws more than anything) rather than fixing the root cause... </rant>

I just noticed that this board accepts HTML (of some form)... lets see:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!")
</script>

I do hope it uses whitelists, not blacklists :)

bitwisexor: You didn't expect me to allow scripts, did you? :-)

playBunny: Hyperlinks as well :)

I want to add a more sophisticated HTML validator when I have more time for it.

First it would be good to fix the bug that breaks the line for non obvious reasons.....

ali: If you have money to purchase something, I VERY HIGHLY recommend Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security.

Trend Site: http://www.trendmicro.com

PC-cillin site: http://www.trendmicro.com/en/products/desktop/pc-cillin/evaluate/overview.htm

Plus I'm not sure if this is still valid or not since it still says version 2005 on this page (2006 is current version), but it allows you to get 50% off the price. (So instead of around $50, it would be around $25): http://www.trendmicro.com/offers/ms-wsc/english.asp

Not only is it an anti-virus, but also a firewall, spam filter, spyware protection, etc... I love it. New updates for it almost daily (which it will find & update itself), and never had any problems with viruses/spyware getting on my PC while I had this loaded.
