Calling all PC experts - Saving image problem...
Monday, January 19, 2004 by WebGizmos | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok...I've searched the net and every where else I can think of, so this is a last resort.
Here's the problem...I go to save a animated .gif image...sometimes it (My PC) allows me to save it as it is...a animated .gif...but then other times it will only allow me to save it as a .bmp...which stops the animation of the image.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to change or set that will give me the choice of image types?

Jafo...ok...cleaned out temp files and it still won't allow me to "save target as" only "save picture as"... is there a setting somewhere that I can change to correct this or is it as Travis said where certain browsers won't let you "save target as"?

Look in Internet options/ advanced and see if 'enable 3rd party browser extenions' is checked.

Two different browsers, but they both operate off the same Internet Options

To be perfectly honest with you Yrag I "think" I'm using the MSN explorer. I'm sorry to say still pretty green when it comes to some of this PC stuff.

OK...take one more look in advanced settings and see if 'install on demand (other) is checked. I think this might be an MSN problem...I'll open mine and see what happens.

Yes Yrag...install on demand (other) is checked...install on demand (internet Explorer) isn't.

That's correct...
MSN works the same...for some reason you're not getting the right click options you should be getting. Unless you have a 'Tweak' proggie to change the right click menu, you would need to make changes in the Registry...I do not suggest you go there.

And I "think" I have Internet Explorer enabled now...but I'm still clueless as to why it makes a difference if I'm copying an image to a folder on the same PC. Does using Internet Explorer enable different functions when it's opened?

And there isn't any other way to change the right click menu? I'm sure that at one time or another I was able to save images as .gifs but now it seems that everything is a .bmp for some reason.

The short answer is yes...but this shouldn't be one of them.

OK...I just tried saving a background image and things happened different than I'm used to seeing. When I right clicked on the image a download screen popped up...you know...the save this file now...download later...and the then file folder where I save this stuff came up and it saved the image as it should be...and when I clicked save it downloaded the image. But it doesn't do this for .gifs.

Smoke starts pouring out of webgizmos ears from thinking to hard...the only things I've downloaded has been images and windowblinds...nothing else lately.
