Save Picture As problems...

[Vamp]

I seem to have a problem when I right click and goto Save Picture As on internet images. No matter what format it is, it will always by default ask to save it as Untitled.bmp and while I can change the name, I can't change the extention. This causes problems when an animated gif is safed as a bmp. Anything I can do to change this?

Do you use AOL?
You can turn off Compress Grafics...if not..

Sometimes copy & paste into a Program will allow you to change the extention...for Animated GIFs, try saving it here: http://www.gifworks.com/

Might need to empty your browser's cache.

Firefox: Tools menu -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache, click the Clear button.

IE: Tools menu -> Internet Options -> General tab -> Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete Files button.

Hope that helps.

In Internet Explorer --> Tool>Internet Options>Temporary Internet files>Delete Files...

Edit: uNz[i] was faster. :)

thanks it working now... :D

Did nothing for me... Still can only select a BMP as a format to save in :/

Okay then, try this...

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab. Untick the Do not save encrypted pages to disk check box, then click Apply and Okay buttons. Restart IE.

That should do it.

I remember reading one of the ie developement team answering this one a while back and he claimed it was a broken plugin that would cause this. after i deleted the offending plugin it worked again.

Yeah, I just found something like that tip during my search. The solution given was to untick the Enable third-party extensions (requires restart) checkbox.

That's a bit of overkill though. Disabling every third party extension would mean killing the browser's ability to play Flash, Quicktime etc...

there is a folder somewhere that holds all the plugins in the windows directory i think. just go through that a remove the ones you dont need or are labeled broken.

sorry i cant remember where is it off the top of me head and im using linux so it's impossible to check :-(

did you shut down your browser after you originally cleaned your cache. requires restart.
