I still have these things in the startup section:

- qttask (I don't even use quicktime)
- NvCpl
- nwiz
- avgcc
- point32
- realsched
- printray

Are you sure about NvCPL

Are you sure about NvCPL

[wannabe1]

You can uncheck all of those except avgcc...

Reboot. Is startup better?

[wannabe1]

If NvCpl has the command to rundll32.exe..it's part of the nVidia control panel and is not required at startup.

[KillEmAll83]

Yeah, it had the rundll command. And startup is very noticeably faster, thanks!


Hehe. Now how would I get my smilies moving? Keith said something about a firewall.

[Retired Tech]

If you have Zone Alarm, ad blocking stops smilies, probably the same for most firewalls

[wannabe1]

Let's look at a setting in Internet Options, too.

Open Control Panel and double click on "Internet Options". Under the "Advanced" tab, scroll down to the "Multi Media" section, and make sure that "Play animations in web pages" is checked.

[KillEmAll83]

That box is checked.


And where do I check in ZoneAlarm for ad blocking? I have ZoneAlarm and a firewall on the router which I can't disable.

On the privacy tab

[KillEmAll83]

Hmmm..... they still aren't moving.

[wannabe1]

Open Control Panel then Internet Options. Click on the "Security" tab then on the "Internet" icon. Click the "Custom Level" button and set the settings as they are in the first column HERE.

[KillEmAll83]

My settings were the same. Still not moving.




My computer hates me. Thanks for the help, guys.

[wannabe1]

And I thought this was going to be the easy "coup de gras"...

Disable all your pop-up stoppers. Check for them in the browser you're using, the firewall, the anti-virus program...etc. Try the animations. If they are animated, turn the pop-up stoppers on one at a time until you find the one that stops them...leave that one disabled.

If no joy with this, post back and we'll look elsewhere for the problem.

[KillEmAll83]

No luck...


But I just went to a random forum and the smilies move. Weird. But all the forums I've been going to for a while, the smilies don't move.

Go back into the ZoneAlarm, locate and disable the "Animated Ad Blocker"...
