Thursday, February 17, 2005 by _02 | Discussion: Personal Computing
Hi, I wen't to download a gif off a web page and noticed that the only save as option I have is bmp. I cannot save as is in gif,jpg or any other format but bmp anymore. Anyone have any ideas. I use to be able to choose my format. Not anymore. Something has happened.

The shell32.dll change is normal, apparently everybody that has done the updates has had that particular file changed. As far as the unknown files by all means delete them.

Thanks RedBuzzard. I have deleted them, and cleaned everything out, but still only have bmp format for save as. I checked my husbands computer out tonight and he has the options to save as a gif, jpg or bmp like I use to have on mine. Now I feel sure it must be a setting or something that got changed. But where that change is, I have no idea. I really thought up till then it was the last critical updates. Hopefully someone will know what could cause this. I have done everything I know to do. Thanks alot for your help. I really appreciate yours and everyones's help in this perplexing matter.

The same thing happens to me except when I use Firefox.

something else to check when you run into similar problems with this or any other type of picture files is to check settings in your picture editing software to confirm what files are defaulted for it to open/edit because some of them are not able to edit gif's; also, you can go under folder options in control panel and under the file types tab scroll down to gif and see what program is associated with it. there you can set it to a program that you know will allow you to open/edit gif's. hope this helps..
