...when i right click and save picture to my desktop it comes out &#39;no preview available&#39;....

Yoyu probably encountered a website that does not allow you to save (or steal) images.

But in XP pro, if you let the mouse cursor idle over top of the image, a little tool bar appears in the upper left corner of the image, giving you the option to save it.

Unfortuately i have XP home.

Surely there must be a way to steal these images from a site.[/b][/quote]
The image toolbar is part of IE6, regardless of which version of Windows you have. Go into Internet Options, click on the Advanced tab and scroll down to Multimedia. Check the box that says "Enable Image Toolbar" and restart.

Then hold your cursor over an image and click on the Save icon.

If it says no preview available I sincerely doubt that it&#39;s the fact that the website is not allowing you to view the pictures. If that were the case it wouldn&#39;t have let you save them in the first place. I&#39;m guessing it&#39;s an unsupported file format, if I&#39;m wrong then here&#39;s a very easy way to get save the pictures you seek.

Simply go to "file" and then "save as" save them under the name you wish and the location you wish. Then open up the folder and the pictures should be inside.

alot of the times when you get an unsupported file format, you can simply change the extension on it to .jpg and view the pic. dont know if it works all the time, but it has worked a few times for me. you can give that a try as well.

That&#39;s right, they might be .png image files. I had a problem with them a long time ago. Maybe this site will help...
