Ok, when you get the dialog box asking where you want to save it, you’ll see that at the bottom of the box (below where it says " File name: ") there’s an option that says " Save as type ". Just expand it and choose the " GIF(*.gif) " extension. Hit " Save " and you should be good to go.
Now, remember that in order to see the animation you need to open that pic with a browser (IE, Firefox, etc).
ive tried that and it the drop down that says save as type it only has the option of *.bmp there isnt any other type that i can save it as so i dont know what else to do? any other ideas
do the gifs actually play?
i once had a problem where no gif played on my pc, just would be 1 image.
in the end, after scanning for malware etcetc, i reinstalled xp as i felt like it, system acting really buggy, and that cured it.
no it only just saves one picture its sounds as though i have what you had
yes, but do the gifs actually play when you are looking at them like on a website, for example?
if they arent moving at all, then u had what i had, is my explanation
on the website its moving but when i save it, it only saves on picture
which web site is it?
That’s very odd, all I get is a .gif option, try it with another gif, like Snipers little smilie for example.
i try abd get them from http://www.gifanimations.com/index.jsp but it never works not even on snipers smiley.
