I tried another gif file, and this seems to be exactly the problem.
With the following GIF you can clearly see it shows the frames in
this order: 1,3,5,2,4.

I notice there is a property on the Form called DoubleBuffering, and
I wonder if this has something to do with it? I tried setting this
to True and False, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I
can't see a similar property on the PictureBox control.

Within the IDE or when running the program? In the IDE, I don't see any
animation at all. When running the program, it is displayed correctly. (VB
2005 Express)

In VS 2003: It is displayed correctly animated within the IDE and when running the program.
