I know there are eternal questions about save as...bmp being the only
option, but this is an odd one.
I went to save a logo gif file that needed repair from a friend's site. Got
the .bmp as the only option, though it is indeed a gif. All the other gifs
and jpgs on the site also come up that way. There is no special html code,
it's a simple site.
I deleted the int. temp files (not cookies though), went through the
'settings...view objects' and deleted the unidentified one, then all of
them, rebooted and still got the same .bmp option. It's not a secure page,
but I went and checked the advanced option about encrypted files and it's
not checked. No AOL has ever been on the machine. Nothing works to fix
it...but....I go to other sites and get normal options for jpg, gif, etc.
The site is www.gjac.org, and trying to save the logo gets me the bmp only
option. I have a website at this host, and indeed my site also gives only
those options, as do others, such as http://www.bangrecording.com/ at the
same host (Worldzone pro).
BUT, to really confuse things...on my laptop, XP home with all updates (as
did the other machines), the same pages come up with a gif or jpg option.
Same network connection to cable. Another XP pro machine here is bmp only
at those sites, but fine elsewhere. Rebooted to WinME, and same thing, .bmp
only.
So I have done everything I can find at Microsoft's KB and it didn't work on
any of the machines. I did see via a Google search a couple of comments
about deleting cookies, but hate to do that if it's unlikely to work (they
were 'unofficial' comments). The real puzzler is why does the laptop do
fine, and nothing else will, and also why only at those sites (as far as I
know) with a common host? The laptop has had AOL on it when new, but
removed immediately, and none of the other machines ever had it, they are
clean installs with all updates (if that matters, I noticed one of the fixes
referred to AOL).
I got the file from the laptop, so it's not urgent any more, but this whole
thing is confusing. Are there any registry keys, repairs, or ? that could
be causing this? What about cookies, should I delete them and bite the
bullet about logging back in to everything? I didn't get an answer on the
IE6 group, but another user replied that they got the same behavior at those
links. Thanks for any ideas.
