Saving a gif or a jpeg

then open the file in a paint or graphics program
then use the "save as" in that program which should hopefully have some compression formats like gif or jpg

if you dont have a graphics program installed, then IE probably doesnt know how to use the format, so you need to go to a downloads site and download a graphics editing program

well you cant really save a gif as a bitmap can you? It would only save that frame not all the frames that make up the gif.

if its giving you the option to save it as a bitmap it should save the file as a bitmap

something to try i guess

Basicly the same thing I said to do in the first place, it will save as the file ext if you set it.

First way...
Download latest version of IE, so that bug should be fixed.

Second way...
Save that image as *.bmp after that open that picture to Photo Shop/Paint Shop Pro and justsave it as *.jpg/*.gif/what ever you want.

Doesn't anyone find it funny that after I help Heatha fix the problem they all want to put their 2 cents in just for a free post. Anyone?

Ive got a problem bout saving and opening my screenshots (well not saving) cos i know how to rename them but when i go to open them it says Paint Shop Pro 30 day Trial Is over
and i cant open them anymore now the trial version is over cos its in the psp7 formate .bmp and it open in the psp7 window....?

Use paint it comes with even win 3.1. Start, program Accessories, paint should be down the list. If its in a .bmp I don't see a problem with paint being able to open it.

Right click -> Open with ->Save as (add .gif) see if that works cuz it worked for me
