Problems with pictures

[ikickpigeons]

Hey i just have this little problem that i need to help with. What is a bitmap? Whenever i go to deviantart.com and try to save a picture it comes up as a bitmap not a jpeg or anyhting else. So, i can save it but not open or use to pic. If you need more information about my problem justr ask, and thanks in advance for the replies.

A bitmap (.BMP) is an uncompressed image format often used for things like icons, etc that have to be pixel-exact. This also makes them useful for artistic endeavors where you don't want compression (although there are other formats used for this sort of thing; PNG and TGA are also common). You should be able to open bitmap files with most image editing packages (or, in a pinch, a web browser).

Pictures should save as whatever format they were originally in. I just went to that site, and several pictures I looked at were in JPEG format (although there certainly could be BMP ones on there). Could you provide a link to an image you're having trouble with?

so to fix this problem do i need to dl an update? i already have SP pack 2 and auto update on, if so and im really bad at reading microsofts pages because its confusing and so counter intuitive, what do i need to dl??? thx so much for the replies fellows.

only way to fix it is to NOT USE IE
use Opera or Firefox

actually if you use Crazy Browser or MyIE2 which are IE adons that might fix it

I can save the image as a jpeg with IE by default. If yours is bmp just click the save as type to jpeg.

It's a problem that sometimes comes up in IE. The quick answer is to empty your temporary internet files. For a more complete answer, look here: http://support.microsoft.com/d...id=kb%3ben-us%3b810978
