1. Make sure that you haven't switched from official POV-Ray to MegaPOV.
GIF support has been removed from MegaPOV for legal reasons.

2. Try loading the troublesome GIF into an image editing package and
perform a "Save As". This should regularize any non-standard features
that sTile99 might be applying to the data. If that doesn't work, try
saving it as a .png file.
