My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Ars Technica: The PC enthusiast's resource: Ask Ars: Internet Explorer saving all images as .BMP Today's problem sent in by Ben is as old as the hills, and while many people know of the fix, many don't (at Ars we have a rule: if more than 10 people ask, answer it). So without further ado, let's nip that annoying problem where right-clicking on an image brings up the option in Internet Explorer to (only) save that image as a Bitmap file, aka .bmp. The symptoms are rather obvious: Internet Explorer, even with all of the most recent updates, may sometimes refuse to let you save images in any format other than Bitmap. The problem is caused when a 'damaged' or 'unknown' program is sitting in your '%systemroot%\Downloaded Program Files' folder (usually C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files). The fix is simple. First, empty your Temporary Internet Files to clear the cache (In IE, go to Tools: Internet Options, and chose 'Delete Files' in the 'Temporary Internet Files' section of the first tab). This can take several minutes to complete if you have allocated a lot of space. Next, browse to your 'Downloaded Program Files' folder, and delete any program that is listed as either 'unknown' or 'damaged.' That should do it. Some users have found that other applications downloaded into that folder can cause the problem. If the above fix does not work, you may need to start removing those applications one by one to find the offender. Once the offending program is deleted, you should be able to save as the appropriate image type again. posted by Dino at 11:13 AM (permanent link)
