Need help with saving a image in gif from the net????

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Ok I hope I can make this understood, my problem is this: I'm trying to save
a blinkie type image a friend made for me and sent me by email and even
posted on the same board we visit.....so I could right click on it and save
it. My pc only has the bmp. option when I try to save picture as and not the
gif I need. What could be the problem? I can save it as bmp, but the blinkie
does not blink. Iv'e been able to get a couple of other blinkies for my
signature from some other gals and my pc gives me a choice of bmp. or gif,
but I've noticed these blinkies have a file name and the one I can't seem to
save in gif doesn't. And while surfing the net looking for other blinkie
type images, I wasn't able to find one single one that had a file name, so I
couldn't save any of those either, because once again, when I right click on
them it only allows the bmp option. Also if this helps any, when I open the
properties of these, they are gif files, so I guess I need to know how to
work around this, it must be my system, because everyone who has these type
of images to share, tell you to just right click and save them to your pc.
I'm on WIN XP only about a 7 months old systems.
Thanks
Donna

Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE , and hit enter.
This will start your disk cleanup utility. Make sure to cleanup
your Temporary Internet Files.
