Strange result from "Save Picture As".
Hi,
When I display a picture (full screen) on my monitor, right click it, select "Save Picture As", save it to "My Pictures" folder and then open it from that folder, I get a big surprise. The original picture was of a deer. What I see is that of a human!! I've repeated this procedure several times, with the same result. . The "deer" picture was part of a "stationery". The "human" picture did appear elsewhere in the stationery, not when the deer picture was opened. It filled the screen. The deer picture was saved as .bmp. There was no other choice. I would greatly appreciate an explanation, and if possible a way around the problem. Thanks. Andy I. (WIN 98SE; IE/OE 6) |

Open IE, click tools, options, delete temp files and tick the box to kill offline content as well. That's usually what it means when you can only save as .BMP but I'm not so sure why it'd be a human instead. I'd try that first.

Where is the original picture located? On your local system? Is this a website?
If the latter, can you give us a link so that we can see what's there? Stationery can be weird stuff. -- Gary S.

Thanks Gary.
The original "Stationery" was posted to a News Group about a year ago. At that time I saved it ("Save As") to My Documents folder and renamed the extension from .NWS to EML so that I could E-Mail the Stationery to friends. However, I'm not sure how I can send it to a Newsgroup, i.e. this one, so you can examine it. The good news is I have been able to save the Deer picture. I did this by renaming the Stationery extension to .UUE and double-clicking the altered icon. This separated the Stationery into four parts as icons, two texts and three graphics (background,deer and that !!*?#!! "human".) Nevertheless I'd still like to know why I ran into the original problem. Thanks again for your interest. Andy I. "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ... | Where is the original picture located?
