    Help

    When i try to save any picture file in internet explorer it will only let me save it as a bitmap. This happens no matter what kind of picture file im trying to save. Its getting really annoying now, especially when ive been trying to save animated .gif files.

    Anyone able to help me?


    Please!

    Happens to me quite often. I googled it once and found a solution that works.........for me anyway.

    If u go to tools > internet options and then delete all ur temp files and cookies, then wait a few minutes, it should let you save them normally again.

    It makes no sense but it did the job for me.

    Eh how can they stop you using FireFox on the main connection?

    Well, they surely can't really!

    You're right they cant! It was just me being stupid/lazy. When i set up firefox i assumed it imported the cache settings from IE, but it doesnt. Only just realised this, wouldnt have thought about it at all if u didnt type that tho!

    Ah my life is so much better now
