Try running it through Netscape. I just tried it and it came back with gif vs the bmp on IE.

ok...I have another little story for you. when my youngest daughter was born I contracted a blood infection that settled into my floppy mitral valve in my heart. When she was a couple months old the infection (unbeknownst to me) had festered and I throw an embolism which caused me to have a stroke. The entire left side of my body is somewhere in limbo-land. I had absolutely no feeling...you could have removed it and I would not have known!

I was hospitalized for 8 weeks undergoing intervenous antibiotic therapy. There were complications which had threatened my life very seriously on a number of occasions. I was allergic to the medication, and there were 8 different kinds of specialists who cared for me and pulled me through.

When you face mortality you begin to realize what kind of things really matter in your life. Flowers that sway in the breeze become something that you can marvel at. Old people become much more important. Smiles come easier. Life is simply amazing...all life.

I was walking through a store one day and a strange man came up and asked me what had happened that made me beam such happiness. Apparently I was smiling...just because. BTW...while I was still in ICU my dad sat on the floor in the room and waited for some sort of good news. I remember waking up because my nose was itching like crazy! I kept complaining about it and my dad shot up off the floor and said, "thank God! You can feel it!!!" :) I continued to recover enough feeling so that no one would ever notice that I had had a stroke, although it took several months. One day I was carrying my baby in my left arm and (duh) didn't realize I had her! LOL... And I could never trust that side to test bottles, etc...hot sometimes felt cold, etc.

The point is that sometimes it takes loss to recognize all of those things that we had always taken for granted. Loss gives us an opportunity to make gains. Loss is what we make of it. ":)

Thanks, I will try that.

[MistyCA]

Thanks Tonk! I wonder if I can email them with more success. I will try that too. :)

[Mama_Bear]

THANK YOU! It worked, I got it. :-)

[MistyCA]

No, it is apparently something in my system that does not allow you to copy the animations. I haven't figured out yet what that might be.

[MistyCA]

I wondered about that. I posted it in Netscape, but the same thing happend to Billie when I posted it in IE. thanks.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I was able to save with IE with no problem.

[MistyCA]

Wow...that is great! Thanks Dave!!!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks Tonk. Did you do it the way Dave suggested, save it in Netscape, or were you able to save it some other way? I know you are too busy to be saving and posting graphics for us. I appreciate it. I have Netscape on my computer but I never use it. At least now I know I can get them via Netscape if I have to. :-)

A big thank you ((((hug))))!

[Diver Dave]

what version are you using? I think mine is 5.5. I'd make a quick check, but I'm in Netscape now. When I tried to save with IE, I too was only allowed to save as a bmp.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks to Dave and Tonk, I got it. Thank you so much for thinking of me. I will put it on my page ... there is always room for one more bear on my page. LOL! And that one is soooo cute. :-)

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Your Welcome
I just used IE with no problem.
I ONLY use Netscape to check websites for my business after my partner builds them.
Some tables etc won't work on Netscape, but will work on IE.
So he always builds in Netscape so they work on both browsers.

[Snow Bunny]

I agree Misty, and I am so glad you are OK now. Thanks for sharing that, what a beautiful story.

[MistyCA]

I am glad you got it and especially glad that you like it! Of course I thought of you immediately when I found it a little while ago. :)

[Mama_Bear]

I was able to save with IE with no problem.

Hmmmmm ... well, I'm confused. But, thank you for your help. Next time it happens I will go directly to my Netscape browser to save them. :-)

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Tonkin. I appreciate it. I just saved it to my storage place so you can delete it from yours. Thank you again.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"what version are you using?"

6.0 version, but I recommend NOT to upgrade till all the bugs worked out of 6.0

[Snow Bunny]

Thanks so much.
