Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup, I wasn't sure where to post this.
I am trying to download and save some animated pictures to my hard drive.The
images are from legitimate sites especially made for this reason. I am
having problems saving them as GIF images. Mostly I can only save them as
BMP files. Then the animations don't work. When I right click on the image
on the website and go into properties, it says GIF image, (although this
info can change to Paintshop pro image or BMP image if I refresh the web
page) So I think the problem must be my end. Is there something I can do to
save these images so that I can use them as they are intended -animated
gifs. Some do save but they save as paintshop pro images which enable me to
see the animation. But as I intend putting them on my website I am not sure
that they will be available for others to see.
Sometimes I get an error message box up when trying to save it, which reads
" The system cannot find the file specified" Then it will change from being
saved as an GIF image to an untitled BMP file.I have noticed that some JPGs
that I have saved on my pc show as ulead photo express files, and other BMPs
save as or will open in Paint shop pro. I am not sure why they wont all open
with the same program. I cant seem to set the preferences or the file
association without causing files to not be available to open. Something
must be corrupt I think. So I really need a fix not a work around.
Can someone please offer me some help?
If not can you please suggest the correct newsgroup.
Many thanks in advance
