Didn't you read it ?????????

SImply upload the pngfix.js in your clientscript/ folder and add the below code in headinclude template

<!--[if lt IE 7.]>
<script defer type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/pngfix.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

I think you'll want to upgrade your IE to 7 at least, Alot of people are now withdrawing support for IE6, with all the security issues and the such.

The upgrade is free ;)

How can GIFs be "fixed"?? They always display properly in Internet Explorer/Firefox/Opera/Safari...

The reasons PNGs have problems is because they have something called "alpha transparency". The alpha transparency lets you define how transparent a colored pixel is, whereas with GIFs it's either a transparent pixel or a colored pixel.

Now if your image is corrupted, you'll have to find a way to fix the image. Photoshop can do that nicely, if you "Save for web and devices" instead of "Save as".

I looked at it in IE7, and it looks fine to me. What do you mean by "stuffed up"?

Nope. They look fine in IE7. Although I found an older machine and ran IE6. Although I found the problem not to be with the GIFs themselves, it was the colors visible on the screen. I suppose if your machine doesn't auto-update to IE7, then you probably have your graphics card on a lower setting than true color.
