Terrell,
It says animated cursors and icons. It does not say anything about animations relating to games and such. The problem is directly related to Windows and has nothing to do with Links or any other gaming or graphics program.

Our animations are safe.

If you go to your mouse settings in the Control Panel and click on pointers, there are two example there that will give you a better idea of what they are talking about. They are titled Variations and Windows Animated. That is, if you have them in Vista. You may even have more different types. Other than those, they are files that you would download from somewhere to customize your computers appearance.
