Hi Jan Il,

I have the problem that some gif's aren't showing up. whenever I go to a
site that this happens (yahoo.com), my encoding changes from windows to
unicode. When I try to change it back, it switches back to unicode. Have
you heard of this, or is this causing my picture problems, and do you know a
way to fix it?

Thanks so much!
