IE6 Gif Display Bug --RESOLVED--

I'd be interested in seeing if this alleviates the problem for others.

I'd like to post a question within this thread as well...I had a hunch based on what another friend had told me.

How many people who experience the .gif bug use, have used or installed CuteFTP before?

EDIT THE REGISTRY AT YOU OWN RISK
back it up 1st if you want to try that!

If you guys can confirm this I may just reinstall the SP1 update.

reply to Osaire
Interesting. I never had the GIF problem. I just checked and I don't have the http, https, and ftp keys either, just the mk key. Never had cuteFTP on the box (WinXP Pro).

reply to Osaire
Does this work?

I've yet to see the .gif bug since doing the above. I really hope this is the resolution, but we all know that not everything works for everyone and sometimes it works on its own anyways.

So far, so good!

reply to Osaire
What is that location in the registry used for, anyway?

reply to Osaire
I use CuteFTP, what is the bug anyway?

almost all *.gifs on a web page are not displayed after installing SP1.

the last post in the IEX board said that the fix didn't work for him.

I've tried everything available. Searched numerous threads, asked many experts, consulted MSDN hundreds of times. Nothing else worked for me.

This did.

The last user on the forum said it worked for him and then it came back, we don't know if a program he used had caused the return of it, or even if the entries there had returned due to something run.

But what's the big deal here? If you don't want to try it, don't, it's as simple as that. I posted this here because it worked for me when NOTHING else did.

I don't understand all the posts here with skepticism when nobody has tried it. If you're afraid, back-up your registry and do it. If not, live with the bug, I just thought I'd try to spread some news that took a lot of stress out of my troubleshooting.

Good luck.

I just tried it and it works fine for me. Yes I did make a backup of the registry entries just in case. So far so good.

Nice find.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

i'm not saying it doesn't work. i don't have sp1 installed right now though. i'm just saying that it could be a coincidence and yea there's no harm.

I didn't mean to imply for people to install SP1 just to try it. That wasn't my intention at all. I just didn't like the skepticism that seemed to be floating around.

I really hope more people try this so we can find out if this is a valid fix or not, for me, it was a resolution...I am hoping it is for everyone else as well.

if this fix works, i'm gonna install sp1 again.

I have only had the "GIF" problem on 1 of my 3 XP computers.

I did a regedit similar to what you posted, and it worked for me.

This is what I removed from my registry to repair my GIF problem.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\HTTPS]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\HTTPS\ZDA]
"CLSID"="{5BFA1DAF-5EDC-11D2-959E-00C00C02DA5E}"
"Pattern1"=""

I also removed the key that it pointed to.
