Title: Saving JPEG from IE... Only in Bitmap?
Post by: Fineus on November 25, 2004, 07:50:55 pm
Evening all..

My computer, for reasons better known to itself, has suddenly decided to only allow me to save internet image files as .BMP as opposed to my usual preference of .JPEG. I've not changed any prefences that I know of.

Does anyone know how I can re-educate WindowsXP into doing as it usually should?

this might have something to do with the jpeg-virus thing that was found out a while ago.

That's interesting...mine did that awhile ago, then one day it started working correctly again. I never did figure out why.

a few months ago i posted a topic posing this exact same problem :-/  still haven't figured it out, but some images work, some don't... never got too much in depth figuring it out.  it's only in IE though, and every time i format it works fine, and then eventually the problem starts ... no clue.  if you do figure it out, let me know.  i'm pretty sure we have the same problem... it always tries to save it as "untitled.bmp", right?  yeah...

IE just does that randomly, as far as I could ever tell.

Go Firefox.

Yeah, I never figured out how to fix it up either. I do what Rictor does.

Saving JPEG from IE


Personally I reckon we should save every file format from having to go anywhere near IE. :D

Exactly what I was thinking. You should see how IE mutilates PNG images. Doesn't allow alpha transparency for backgrounds and such.

Bastard.

Say, seems everything worked thanks to Tiara (and Microsofts) advice. Cheers for that... Looks like I don't have to mess around with FireFox just yet!

What? I like to torture people. if he wants to continue using IE it just means more anger and despair for me to feed on. And eventually I will devour his soul! :drevil:

Sorry, I live in England and by doing so - my soul is already the property of the Labour government.

Of course, if you want to argue with them over it - feel free!

You do realize, me being the essence of pure evil, that I own the Labour government? Or any other government for that matter. How do you think i got about a gazillion souls in my food storage locker?

Ya gotta think big if yer hungry for souls ;)

Ahh. Now I can claim that something Kal did was offensive! Insinuating that homosexuals are all into beastiality! For shame. :p
