saving pic as...

[Guest]

Whenever I try to save a pic I receive through email, I'm only able to save
it as a bitmap format even though it is a jpeg pic. I am new to XP so I
don't know if there is a way I can change that. Help please!

Try Emptying your Temporary Internet Files cache
In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Delete Files.

Hi

I have looked after a solutions to this problem the kast few days but
without luck...
I have saved some picture along the time from the WEB through my IE 6.x /SP2
(and before the SP2 update ofcourse) using the the right-click on a picture
and then saved the picture as "oooo.jpg".
But without any reason I got last week - when using the "save picture as" -
this message:
Name: "untitled"
Foormat: ".bmp"
And I can not change it.

I have looked for an answer and found these:
Artikel no.: 810978 + 250747 + 260650

I have done what the 810978 artikel tells us to do but I still have the
problem!!!

Any other solutions to this problem?

Friendly regards

HI,

Seems to me you are using basic software (Maybe Internet exporer) to do the
job. This can be the problem. I would try using a third party software such
as Paint shop Pro , Photoshop or one of the free programs that give you more
flexibility and a whole range of file saving options. Just google "Shareware
photos" or something similar and see what you can get.

Hi Daarkora

Well I not sure that I understand what you getting ad (I have PaintShopPro
9.x in a registrated version and a few others and well known photo programs
as well), but I have solved the problem!
Here comes my answer to John in another newsgroup:

Hi John

Thanks for your help, but I did not have any problems with finding the
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Account\Local Settings\Temp....and Temporary
Internet Files.
I normally once every day - just in case - make the clean up under the
Internet Options/general pane.
And normally I have not any problems in fact I have never tried this before.

But after you wrote to me I went in to the folders and looked in their
properties and here I sav that Internet temp... did have cache on 17.4MB.
And after I did the deleting there was still 15.6MB left and that was very
strange. Normally there would be max 2.5MB left. So I logged out as User no 1
and back in as the administrator in safe mode.
And then I went through all the "Temp" and "Internet temporary files"
folders under all the settings on my computer. And then there was only
16-44KB left in these folders.
Then I logged out and back in as User no. 1. After that I tried to go online
and found a picture and tried to save picture as.....
And this time it worked as it should ))
The picture was a zzz.jpg file and I got same name in the "save as" box.
But it is strange that there are 15.6MB after a deleting process for no
reason at all.

So the solution in my case was not just to delete everything in Temp - and
Internet temporary files folders - as I normallly do.
But I did have to login as administrator in safemode and then make the
deleting.
Very strange ....

But now I know what I have to do on my "Personal Computer (= PC)" next time
I experince this problem.
But thanks to you and others for the dialoque
