Guest Still Fly Report post Posted August 7, 2002 I try using Internet Explorer because I like saving pictures and AOL saves them as very un helpful files when making graphics and such... But in never works... is there any way to upgrade my Internet Explorer or something, or am I doomed to this AOL hell? PS: Thanks Dr Tom for the Windows Xp help. It works nicely, now.

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted August 8, 2002 this is the most easy help I can offer. Stop using AOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MrRant Report post Posted August 10, 2002 You should be able to just open IE when you have AOL open. Other than that Juno.com and Netzero charge like only 9.99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mesepher Report post Posted August 10, 2002 when we had AOL for a short time, IE 5.0 worked fine for me... what version of IE are you running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted August 10, 2002 Do you have some sort of lock? My friend's parents once used AOL to lock out him opening any other non-AOL programs whilst AOL was running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Razor Roman Report post Posted August 12, 2002 The problem you're having is because AOL compresses graphics before you download them... the trade of is you m ay get a faster download time... but lower image quality. You have 2 options 1. Sign on to AOL, then minimize AOL, launch internet explorer and use that to surf. 2. Sign on to AOL, go to SETTINGS and then Wold Wide Web settings. You'll get an Internet Properties dialog box... select the tab up top for WWW Graphics (or something like that) and tell it not to compress graphics. Then you can use the AOL browser (which is an AOL-version of IE) and it will save your pictures from the web as JPG's instead of ARTs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMTapes Report post Posted August 23, 2002 Or, if you like doing it the hard way: 1)Save them as ARTs 2)copy & paste it into Paint 3)save it as a BMP 4)find a BMP to JPG converter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2002 Most of the time, I just use AOL to sign on and IE to go everywhere. Try that. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
