When In want to save an animated picture and I go to "save picture as" the

only thing that shows up is bmp. Why doesn't it list all of the

conversions...I think I need a gif to maintain the animation because now it

looses all the animation that goes with the tag I'm downloading. I have

infanview and since I cleaned my computer of some of my programs, the only

thing that I can convert to is bmp and very rarely gif shows up.

Thanx

This normally happens because you haven't cleaned out your Temporary

Internet Files.

 

For Internet Explorer's Temporary Files, go to Control Panel>Internet

Options>General tab. You'll see where you can delete cookies and files.

For Firefox, clear its cache by going to Tools>Options>Privacy>Cache>

Clear. And just in case you've never run Disk Cleanup, it wouldn't hurt

to do so even though it doesn't have anything to do with this particular

issue.

 

Start>Run cleanmgr [enter]. Run the Disk Cleanup.

IIRC this was a problem if the IE cache was full or corrupt. Clear it and

the problem should go away.

 

An easy way to do that, and get all the temporary files at the same time, is

with ccleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com

-pk

Clean out your Temporary Internet Files folder.
