' Save To Disk '

I have another question from one of our senior members that I cannot find
the solution to, perhaps someone here may be able to help or direct me to
where I may be able to get the solution.

" I cannot 'save too disk' an attachment from Yahoo emails. It allows me to
'open from this location' and can then save it from a browser it puts it in,
one photo at a time.

Other computers like the online centre can do it so perhaps my version
Windows 98se is causing the problem?

Instead of saving the photo it saves a thing as is shown in the above
attachment, which is an icon that can open Yahoo."

Naturally I did not send the attachment, but basically it was only his
email page.

Any suggestions please?

When I test an attachment email in my Yahoo! email, the first button available,
once I'm viewing the email itself, is a "Scan and Download" option. I press
that, it scans the attachment for viruses, then offers a Download button. If the
attachment is an image, the new page shows the image *and* offers to Scan and
Download. Pressing that prompts a standard download dialogue: Open, Save,
Cancel, and More Info buttons are available.

Nowhere do I see "Open from this location". I have to wonder what browser and
version the senior member is using.

Gary, thank you for your reply.

Looking at the attachment that he sent me I find this on the page (naturally
I can't send you a shot of it) but the text is:
Virus Scan Results


File name: Randstad1op250ooo.jpg
File size: 850kb
File type: image/jpeg
Scan result: No virus threat detected.

Scanned with:

I assume that you can relate to that text as it appears that the attachment
has been scanned and then when he tries to save it he has the problem he
refers to in his email.

Would it be of help to you if I wrote and asked him for more specific
answers?

Yes, it's all familiar to me. The question is, what happens when he clicks on
that last "Download Attachment" button? And, as I said, it would be good to know
what browser and what version of that browser he's using.
