9609 2001-03-06 01:27:00 Somethin' is driving me nuts at the moment...
I download sci-fi art and some cd-covers - also clip art.
Now what has started to happen is the picture only comes in so far - then I have to re-download it - to get the full picture.
This can happen over and over again.
I have to keep on telling it to 'refresh' and eventually I can save the picture.
What is wrong ???
is there a setting somewhere ???

This problem has just started happening - but can't pin-point when or what has changed.

Win 2k
128 megs
20 gig drive
32 meg graphics card
PIII 700 cpu

ps - I sometimes have to go to tools - internet options and 'delete files' in order for me to get the graphics I want.


any help etc.

9610 2001-03-06 22:11:00 sounds more like a flakey net connection than a problem with the actual PC. IE won't let you save a graphic until the entire file has been downloaded. So if it craps out 99% of the way through you wont be able to save it. Guest (0)
9611 2001-03-08 08:33:00 What sort of internet connection do you have? It sounds as tho the connection may be timing out, or some other way failing, part way through downloading the image. And, (I'm not sure about this part) IE may be keeping the semi-complete image in cache and completing it when you refresh. (Maybe someone with better knowledge of IEs image system can explain this?). Either way, it is more likely your connection than your PC. Guest (0)
