"Did you ever get your problem with AOL saving graphics only as .art files fixed?"

No, I haven't....and I have tried everything, very annoying :-)

Let's ping wolfie - who uses AOL and a modem, too.

Louie, have you ever had a problem with AOL, trying to save a graphic, and it will only save as an .art or .bmp - when you DON'T HAVE "Always compress graphics" checked? I have had this happen to me occasionally, but usually it's after I've had an error or something while I'm online and reboot and my preferences got messed up.

Sometimes, Colleen, I've read that if your resources are low, too, that aol will compress graphics. Anyway, another opinion or suggestion from th' wolfie is appreciated.

deadhead Louie, have you ever had a problem with AOL, trying to save a graphic, and it will only save as an .art or .bmp -

Sure have.

HOW TO FIX:
If you're using Internet Explorer:
Click 'tools'
Click Internet Options'
In the pop-up box click
Delete Files....then click Delete History'

This should take care of the prob, it works for me. What happens is.....you've probably saved a bmp thinking it was a gif and didn't notice at the time.Next thing you know, AOL starts saving as ART and BMP files. It saves it to your latest cache. Try saving a gif after you've cleared your cache to make sure this worked. It always does for me.
