Mark - Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Back on 12/14/05 I
installed Windows Update KB905915 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet
Explorer 6. Looking back, it seems that the problem may have started after
that update was installed. I just solved the problem by going to Add/Remove
Programs in Control Panel (Windows 98) and removing Internet Explorer
Q905915. After doing this, I accessed http://www.itemlook.com using Internet
Explorer 6.0, and eyeline.gif loaded and "animated" just like old times. Of
course, this won't help others that still have KB905915 installed. From what
I've read in the newsgroups, it looks like I need to save eyeline.gif in a
newer version of Photoshop in order to solve the problem for others. I think
I will wait to see if Microsoft comes out with any fixes for KB905915 first.
Thanks again,
Gary
