Just a check if you missed it. To stop the flashing logo on the left, go to Tools then Internet options then advanced. Scroll down to multimedia and uncheck the box “play animations in web pages” and click apply then OK. Reload or refresh the GC page an the logo should have stopped. Let us know if it does or doesn’t work, It should Bob

im glad im not the only one did what you said and ive still got it

We are talking about the one on the left not the one at top aren't we? (The AOL thing at present I think) The one at the top should stop if you right click and uncheck play (only temp. though) Bob

thats the one im talking about the aol broadband

Strange Jen, I am in Windows XP with IE version 6 and it definitley works on mine (turned it on and off about six times. ) You must reload the page for it to take effect. Bob

Wow Robert, you are a clever bunny - it worked, thank you!!! Don't wish to insult anybody's intelligence, but don't forget that you must click on 'apply' before 'OK' otherwise it won't work. Mandy :)

well i have pressed applyed and ok still nothing even tryed clicking on the picture one got rid of the one at the top and the genes logo but that daft things still there ggggrrrr well looks like ive got to put up with it

Hi Donna, what a good idea - didn't think of sticking something over it LOL!! It is great on my screen now, the advert is just sat still. Have a good day. Mandy xx

Robert - l can't get rid of it either and l have 'applied' okeyed and reloaded.Sticker it will have to be - apart from the fact that everytime l scroll up or down the bloomin things moves but the sticker don't!!!!!! lol Jude sarf wales

This info can be found at http://www.microsoft*com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/turnoffanimations.mspx This is in XP so am not sure about other versions. This is from the Microsoft site and works on mine. Ps Just checked and it should work in IE 6 windows whatever. Bob

Hi Joy - l have sent an email as well through 'contact us' it says they will get back within 2 days, so fingers crossed - they are probably busy as well:o( dealing with all of our complaints!!! jude sarf wales

Bob, you're a genius. It's worked for me thanks. Sheila x

Hasn't worked on mine. I don't think it would be half as bad if the colours didn't keep changing too. I'm really fed up with this. I'm not staying on half as long. Diane

Mines xp so maybe that's why its worked. Its still there but not flashing and changing colour now.

MMMM!!! I just did it on a laptop and on my sons computer, works on both (XP). When I say refresh I mean the page from the view menu, F5 or the icon, not the GR refresh button. Bob

mine is xp to and ive rebooted my computer since this morning and it still asnt gone

bloody hell, don't you lot make a lot of fuss over little things. Virtually every site on the internet has advertising of some form. Just accept it eh ?

I can live with it Paul but it can cause medical problems ie epilepsy. Bob
