help with Outlook

I have microsoft outlook and I do graphics so I belong to some groups they send the neatest
animations and some are embedded in the email when I click save the only option I get is save as a bitmap ... how can I get it so let me choose the ext?

 

Empty the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder.

Start Internet Explorer
a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
b. Click the General tab.
c. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
d. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.

Try the images now.

no I do not think you understand .. i can see the images just fine its how the program saves them .. I need to be able to change the file ext. and I can not

the only option given to me is BITMAP and I need to be able to save as a GIF
if that explains it better. I hope I can get help changing file ext.

 

Did you try emptying the temp files and it didn't help?

Steve

 

yes I did .... I was told that I had to see what file ext Microsoft word had assoc. with it. I do not know how to do that

 

Now I am lost. You deleted your temp files and now when you try and save the JPEG file you get the message about MS Word?

Maybe I am missing something here.

How about saving them as bitmap and getting Irfanview (small free graphics editor you can download here at Major Geeks) to save them as .gif or whatever extension you want for the the graphics.

I am running VISTA and am having trouble viewing animated files (gif) in outlook. I can send them to myself using a server account like yahoo and see the animation just fine. But when I send the file from the server account and download it into outlook, the animation doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
