Ok, I need some help. My PC is giving me some fucking stress. I can't save images(gif, jpg) - everytime I try, I only get to save them as fucking bitmap files. Well, this becomes a problem when I want to save banners/FPA's and now when I want to grab some recip buttons for some new sites I'd like to submit to. If I can't download a zip file, I have to save the entire webpage to my hard drive (where I can then get the correct files - no bitmaps there). I'm using MSIE browser, and I am running MS W2000 operating system. Can anyone help me out here? I have looked thru "Tools" and other places, but I can't find where to edit any file saving rules. Any help would be appreciatted. Thanks.

close your browser, shut down your internet connection, and wait a few moments. Then resign on, and open a browser. That will fix it temporarily. That happened to me once, and that's how I fixed it.

Worst case...
You could always screen cap images into Photo Shop

I have this problem sometimes too, when I try to save images in explorer's or aol's browser..but I can always save images with netscape. Try saving them in netscape!

clear your temporary internet files and all offline content, then restart your browser.

try emptying your browser cache

COOL!

I just deleted my Temporary files, and then I increased the space alloted to the temp files. Now it works. Thanks for the tips, all!

Helix, nice to see that it was a MS problem. I was wondering what the heck I had done to my settings LOL

Now I just have to figure out the rest of my problems with IE.

Those Temporary Internet Files filling up will cause your system to crash also, when running WinAmp. IE blows.

Use Opera

Or.. just keep clearing that TIF often.

Defragment your drive once a month also, this solves slow performance issues and if you don't defragment eventually your OS will die.
