Save As????

[nashfireman]

I like to collect pictures off the net and burn them to a cd. Usually when I right click and choose save as, the file name and type apppers in the save as box. Now, for some reason when I choose save as the same box is there but,,,,,"Save As" is in the box. I have to type in a file name myself. And, it will only save it as a bitmap file, even though I know its a JPG. I`v spent several hours trying to figure this out. Thanks for any help. The Fireman

there are two dialog box when you try to "save as" on any picture on Internet, on is for "file name" and the other one is for "File Type", now if you know picture it JPG the you should change the file type to *.JPG and the save it.

It has always picked up this info on its own. Even when I type in jpeg, and save ,,,, the next picture does the same thing. Thanks for the help though. Any other ideas????
