netmasta Posted April 5, 2005 CID Share Posted April 5, 2005 That's ok. As for how to save the image as it's original type I can't help, but someone here probably can soon. You should post what OS and browser you are using to get help faster.

php Posted April 5, 2005 CID Share Posted April 5, 2005 if you know the image type, make sure you save it with that extension... this problem comes up when images are put in pages via CGI scripts, etc, and not a direct link...

sblake Posted April 6, 2005 CID Share Posted April 6, 2005 Usually this is caused when your Tempory Internet files folder is full.
