Missing Xp "View source" etc

[Thumbelina]

Any body else out there haveing problem with a non functioning View source for windows Xp...........

It seems to also have a problem with saving jpg pics reading them as bitmaps instead.

If anybody has any clue let me know.

Thanks

I think it may just be an IE bug - my Win2k IE5.5 setup does exactly the same thing, view source does nothing.. Not sure what the problem is.

Cheers,

WOW, I thought that it was just me that had those annoyances with XP. It is irritating as hell. One thing that I found about viewing sources though is that you can still do it in Netscape.

Yes our Gsm boy is using Netscape.........but that is so damn slow..
Thanks for your reply.

I have randomly had that problem also, I reinstalled a newer version of IE (6.0) and I think it is fixed now, however for certain sites I still get .bmp images. I know thiers also a program out there that automatically loads up just the source of any site you want. It saves the trouble of loading slow ass netscape for it and then having to click view source, and also will give you everything without browser only redirects. Sorry that I forgot the name, if I remember ill send it to yah. Also if I want the images I just go into an old netscape browser I have setup where it doesnt recognize the gif and jpeg file types so it automatically saves them when I goto the url of the picture.

Hope this helps,
John

download ie6+update and you wont have problems

The IE view source problem means you need to clear your browser cache. I ran into it a while ago when I started using Win2K and found the answer in one of Microsoft's forums.

I had the same problem too!
I refreshed a zillion times no workie
I upgraded to ie6 and still no workie
Finally one day it just decided to work.

I still don't know what fixed it or caused it to work.

ALSO,
I could open an html file off my hardrive with IE and then view source with no problem. It was only when you tried to view source of a page you were surfing when the problem occured.

Clear your browser cache and that should fix the view source and saving as .bmp problems.

I have the same damn problem! I'll try clearing the cache. Thanks!

Thanks persiankitty........I cleared my cache and it now is back to normal..........
