Why is it that when I want to right click and save a picture my only options are .art or .bmp? I want jpeg. If I pick either selection it doesn’t save the picture right. Both with AOL and IE. Has anyone ever had this situation? ---

I use IE and from what I have seen is that certain pictures when I right click them allow me to save them as GIF/bitmap and others let me save as jpeg/bitmap As for not saving right make sure you are saving it to the location you are looking for it in(ie desktop). And I recommend not using AOL or IE ( yes I know I use IE but thats because I protect myself) use Mozilla Firefox If you can get them to save you can change the compressions in either MS paint or Photoshop ---

I only use AOL because that’s the internet connection we have in the house. I have photoshop so I guess that’s my default picture program. I’ll have to check. **_EDIT_ Why can’t I find how to change my default image program?** **Also, don’t turn this thread into an anti-aol and an anti-IE thread… go make one for that if you need to talk about it.** ---

Got it fixed… cleared temp files and now saving as a .bmp or .jpeg works. ---

Lol… ya I’ve done that before… only really works well if the pic fits on the screen. Unless you feel like splicing pics together. ---

AOL saves it as .art if you have your internet web options set to compress graphics for faster DL. Change it to “never compress graphics” and it should save it normally ---
