ZetecVan 2.0 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Do you mean it's not showing the thumbnail, just the filename? If so, try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176882 or this http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_011.html If it doesn't work, what version of Windows do you have?
ann_capri Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 not shaw what i need to do i am running windows xp , but am thinking is it something to do with aol , as the have updated lately,when i click propertise of the jpg file and then summary, of the pic file i cant get, it says "summary propertise are unavalible for the selected source",so not shaw what that means either
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 I'm not sure what you mean now... I can't see AOL having anything to do with it, if you're copying it to my documents/pictures. Are you wanting to see pictures instead of the little icons like above? If so, the third icon from the right (on the above pictures toolbar) changes the view. Click the small black upside down triangle just to the right of it and select 'thumbnail'.
ann_capri Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 this is a pic off my prob , it's the 1 that say's ann_capri under it . its my new sig i like to save them in my sig folder , but as you can see there is no pic , but i can print it from osf
flyingbanana Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 you should be able to still view it..... re- save the pic and see if it makes any difference
ann_capri Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 done that lots of times dont know what has happened , never had a prob till just lately, camera pics load up fine to ,will keep trying tomorrow
richie_stix Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 i imagine it would be somethng to do with AOL if the pic doesn't work full stop but camera ones are fine, ie the file might be corrupt! if it's just the thumbnail, then again it most proabbly AOL but could be your computer but it doesn't matter that much as the image will still work! i have a simliar problem with mozzilla firefox at the mo, if you have to click a link to download an item, then all is well but if you have to righ click 'save as', the bastard never works... so i have to copy the address of the pic i want and paste it into explorer and then do right click 'save as' and it's fine! my advice, scrap aol as they are slow, crappy, force you to use their inferior internet browser and are american! all together this equals shit! nroaml providers who use normal browsers are much much better! (firefoc the best) long winded this reply but i hope it helps!
ann_capri Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 so basicaly find new broadband , so what do people think is the best and best value for money
richie_stix Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 yeah, new broadband is best... my computer networking mate recomends 'virgin' or 'bethere ADSL'? but once thats sorted, i really advise getting mozilla firefox (just type it into google) as your internet browser as Microsoft copied their new explorer off of mozilla!
Mrs O/H/C Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 have had aol for 3 years...with no poblems
Smudger105e Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 We are on NTL:/Virgin and never had a problem except that their technical help line is situated rather nearer to Mumbai than Manchester!
richie_stix Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 have had aol for 3 years...with no poblems same as me with mozzilla, but as i described the saving problem earlier just happened one day! the thing that sucks bout aol is the fact you have to use their browser which in my opinion is not as good? but at the end of the day I'm takin advise from someone who does computer networking for a living so he always needs high spec, for simple and occasional browsing aol is probably fine! it's up to you but the hassle of swapping providers might be more of a hassle than fixing aol!
flyingbanana Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 We are on NTL:/Virgin and never had a problem except that their technical help line is situated rather nearer to Mumbai than Manchester! dont get me started with that......i went on a big rant with them to other night.....25p a min....and they cant even speak English...lost count how many times i had to repeat my self and get really annoyed trying to work out what they were TRYING to say to me.......their calls now get transfered to india ...they rung me back at 1am in the morning by a manger who could speak English......i dont think he like me by the end of the call
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 That's nothing to do with the broadband as it's a problem with your local pc. PC's do things like that, and you can never understand why. I can't really help anymore. I don't use a PC at home, so I can't replicate it here to try and work out what's happened. MACS RULE!!
FredTransit Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 When you saved the pic, what type of file did you select? Also what programme do you use for pics? It could be either you have saved it as some file type your computer didn't like or it was created originally with a programme you don't have on your computer. If nothing else, try saving the ebay image as a screen shot, and editing it after you have it in photoshop.
Burns Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 ann, have you copied the pic, or the link to the pic? ie: 'save picture as' or 'save link as'?
ann_capri Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 ann, have you copied the pic, or the link to the pic? ie: 'save picture as' or 'save link as'? yep tried that now im more , i copied a pic form lee's photobucket to my pictures fine and google image:roll: , but when i tried to do my sig again still wont do it , nor ebay pics of my own car (tina) seems the dimensions are missing but they were there for my car when we uploaded them to ebay
Burns Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 try uploading the pics to your photobucket directly (upload from url) then save them to your computer
ann_capri Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 thanks , that worked a treat thankyou for your help burns
