suprfli Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 i have a win2k machine and was running IE5.5. when i was browsing a site that had JPG's and i wanted to save one of the JPG's i would simply grab it and drag it to a folder/desktop and it would save the JPG locally. for some reason when i try to drag a JPG now it gives me the circle w/a line through it and won't allow me to drag the JPG to my desktop/directory. if i right click on the JPG and choose Save Picture As it will only save it as a BMP. i went through all of my options and couldn't figure out why it was happening so i installed IE6. i was then able to drag and drop JPG's again but lo and behold the same issue is back again...maybe it was a reboot or something b/c i don't remember making any changes to effect it. now if i want to save a JPG i just use my winXP or win98se machine running IE6 or IE5.5 but this problem is annoying as hell. does anyone know how i can fix this and why it's happening?

nekrosoft13 Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 i know that some sites have scripts that won't let you save. and some will only let you save .bmps SuperCars only allows you to save .bmps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
