    AFAIK VB simply doesnt support animated gifs.

    You can do it by separating your image out to a separate image for each frame and changing each frame with a timer on your form. A lot of work for an ikkle image

    you might be able to download a control though, never really looked into that

    The workaround for this is to create a WebBrowser control on your form and load the image into it.
