The usual reasons for inconsistent graphics displays are either that the
monitor is set to display too few colors, or the graphics card driver is
out of date. Installing the latest driver for the card is usually
recommended.
If those things don't work, you could try creating your gifs with a
different graphics program. On the Mac, at least, I have noticed that
the files created with Photoshop and those created with Graphic
Converter display differently in Rev; in particular, Photoshop gifs
don't produce reliable transparency when brought into Rev, where GC's do.
