animated gifs don't display

On my system at work animated gifs display only as static images in IE. I've checked that displaying animation and displaying video are enabled in the IE options. I'm on XP pro and also running Zone Alarm firwall. I can't find anything in ZA controls.
Does anybody know what it might be?

I found the problem. Zone Alarm. Turn it off, refresh page, gifs animate. Turn ZA back on, gifs still animate. Only the ones already loaded though. Go to a new page and they don't. I just can't find configuration controls in ZA for this though. I'll keep at it and let you know in case anyone else has the same problem.
