    Home Premium SP2, IE9 RTM, Avast free Home Edition 6.0.1000, WLM 2009 ver.

    I used to be able to receive animated smileys.
    I actually had Smiley Central installed until a year ago and the smileys were animated.

    My problem :

    1. I installed Smiley Central again, but smileys are NOT animated.
    2. Obviously related, animated smileys that I received via my e-mail are also still images.

    System restore is out of the question because I had removed all the reestore points except the most recent one.
    Did a sfc /scannow ........ no integrity violation.
    Did a chkdsk /f/r .......... no issue.
    Did a scan with SpyBot S&D ...... removed a few PUPs. No big deal.

    Am I missing a dll or is there a setting that I shoud change ?

    Thank you.

    If it solves your problem, I did it. If it does not, my twin brother did it.

    Hi,

    Please disable your security software and reset IE settings to have a test.

    Also Clean boot can be under consideration to troubleshoot.

    Meanwhile, please understand animated smileys is a third party software, it is suggested to involve their support for more accurate information.

    Regards,

    I did the followings :
    1. Updated my video driver.
    2. Went to Internet Options > Security >  and ran the Reset.
    If it solves your problem, I did it. If it does not, my twin brother did it.
