I installed the windows xp service pack 2 recently and now smilies are not animated anymore

I had the same problem with an old firewall so i am guessing its down to the firewall that was installed with the service pack. Can it be rectified? If it means making the computer less secure then obviously I'll leave it but just wondered if it can be told to accept them or something

Thanks

It's the animation you want to turn off

The firewall shouldn't affect the smilies, and turning it off leaves your computer less secure (unless you have another one). If you want to turn it off, right click your iunternet connection, goto the last tab, and untick the "protect my computer..." box.

Ah, that's probably why my animated emoticons don't animate any more

(I won't see this laughing

).

As long as everything else is working, I'd just live with the lack of moving smileys. Do a search on Google and you'll probably find loads of others have had the same problem.
