saving images problems...

[Rachel]

ok, i'm having issues with saving images through IE. this has never happeend before, and it suddenly started happening yesterday.

I try to save the image, but it tries to save it in bmp format, whatever the format of the image. it only seems to be large images tho, coz i saved an av for my set contest fine, but the sig wouldn't...

suggestions anyone?

edit: also something i've noticed is that toolbar thingy that has save and print etc in it isnt coming up when i hover over an image...

it could be spyware...

This will solve all spyware problems (after its removed)

Clear your webcache, it's a stupid bug in IE, if your temporary internet files gets full, you'll get that symptom

Although, I'd get that fix that unclekyky posted anyway, it's much much better than IE ;P

Open IE > Tools > Internet Options > Delete Temporary Internet Files.

i dont wanna run mozilla/firefox.

i've cleared my temp files, i've also reinstalled ad-aware, and i'm running that to look for any spyware files.

thanks for the suggestions!

Ok, hope it will work out fine

Btw, why not run Firefox? You get rid of all popups and most spyware

i'm trying to avoid installing stuff on my computer since i reformatted it.

i've run adaware and deleted my temporary files and it was working again last nite.... not sure if it is now, yeah it seems to be working stlil

Ah I see
Well, if the problem comes again, it should do just emptying your temp. internet files

Oh, but you almost need to try it out It's easy to uninstall, and doesn't interfer with IE, wait until you feel the sweet taste of popupfree and tabbed browsing, if I liked it any more, I'd marry it!
