Burdette,
In Internet Explorer, check under Tools / Advanced / Multimedia. The fifth choice should be something like "activate animations" (I have the French version on my computer, so I can only guess how they call this option in English).

Im using Windows XP. I have the multimedia setting checked off play animations in web pages but I think that just allows animations on a web page to play. I know in Windows 2000 you would associate a file such as .gif with a program. So I always had Internet Explorer open the gif files and let Adobe PhotoShop open the .jpeg files. With Windows XP if you click on the file (to highlight it) and right click with your mouse and go to open with you should see a menu of the available programs that could open a gif file. For example, one of the choices is Internet Explorer. I can also open the .gif file in Adobe Image Ready or Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. While exploring the gif files, which, you may be looking at in a file folder you, created look to the left and you might see a column Picture Tasks. . . this would allow you the option of opening the .gif file in view as a slideshow.
Maybe you can associate a file with XP but this works okay for me.
