saved jpegs will not open!!

[Guest]

can anyone help? i am using windows 2000, with internet explorer version
6.0.2800.1106. when i try to save a pic from the web, i right click and my
choices to save are "ART" file or "BITMAP" file. no matter which i choose,
they show up as jpeg files in "MY PICTURES" with the IE logo icon. when i
try to open them, the dreaded little red "x"is all that shows. AOL is my IP
if that matters. however the problem occurs whether or not i use AOL ir IE
web browser.

Hi,
[From a newsgroup post by Kelly]
This behavior may occur when AOL's graphic compression option is turned on.
When this option is on, the images are saved as the .art file type.

1) click on settings on the tool bar
2) click the "A-Z tab"
3) click "G-M"
4) scoll down and click "internet (web) options
5) click AOL browser tab (on the internet browser windows of AOL 9.0)
6) click on the "never compress graphics button"
7) save and restart computer

Hope this helps,
