Is anyone familiar with this?

It's all websites. I use ie, haven't tried downloading another browser yet in case someone knows what's up.

If I remember correctly, the thumbnails view in my folders (XP) is supposed to show the little critters moving, too, isn't it?

They only move when I view them in an app.

I'll poke around if need be, but I hate researching questions with such common keywords. Maybe y'all have seen this before?

Thanks :)

I don't remember ever seeing that in XP. I always had to right-click the thumbnail and open the .gif in IE or Firefox to view the animation. Ditto with Vista.

Thanks! How the hell did that get changed? Yep, it was unchecked now. Crazy.

Thanks, Derek :) I couldn't quite remember. I need to reboot before the checkbox change works, but I'm sure I'm good now :D

And Derek, you are correct, sir :) The pictures moving in my folders was but a figment.
