Is this an IE issue?

When viewing a .gif file in IE, it does not show up as the true image -- e.g., it shimmies and shakes (other than the normal animation); sometimes there are shadows that appear around the image; sometimes the entire image pulsates besides it being animated.
If I view that same image using Firefox, I get none of those characteristics and the image looks as it should. This is what leads me to believe it's an IE issue, but am only guessing on that.
I'm a former XP'er and thought with a new PC and Windows 7, it might clear up the issue, but it has not. The gifs still do their distortion routine when viewing in IE. I thought it might by a bad video card or the like, but as stated above, when viewing in FF, it's perfect.
Is there a setting someplace that would enable me to view the images properly when opening in IE? I just now downloaded FF and all is well "over there;" however, I prefer using IE and have for many years. FF has issues as well, so maybe it's just needing to trust an image is ok, even though it looks squirlley.
Viewing it through the Windows Photo Gallery gives me no animation features, so that wont work for me.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
