blocking photo saving

15 years ago

Please help. I am fanatical about saving pictures from the website PaleMale.com (totally allowed). This new laptop keeps giving me this message when I go to save one - This type of file is blocked. For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows Vista - I have no clue what is blocking the photos or how to find out. I know there is trend micro on here but have no clue what else. What do I do ? Please help. Sorry I've been such a pest the last few days. Thanks so much, Debbie.

Thanks for the nice comments and encouragement, ladies. I started following the quilt forum last year and am usually in 'lurk' mode. I have enjoyed seeing photos of the quilts you've made and shared here, too. Sharon, the pattern is at the Quiltville site and is called Star Struck. There are photos of some beautiful quilts others have made with the pattern, too. Marcia Here is a link that might be useful: quilt pattern

Bill! I haven't been online for a week...and I am THRILLED that you posted photos of the blocks you received from our group! They are simply wonderful! I was going through health problems when I finally received many of my blocks and I haven't yet sorted everything out to post a photo.

I'm so glad you posted your pictures. Your blocks are lovely! Someone asked the name of the block that I made, well I don't know that it has a name. I used Carol Doak's book "Simply Sensational 9-Patch Stars." In that book she provides directions to make 50 star blocks, but you can also mix and match pieces from each star and come up with your own blocks and that is what I did for your block. Given that I was so late in sending it to you (size problems with the first block and ugly problems with the 2nd) I'd call this block something like "Lola's laggard!"

Zep - nothing works. As soon as I click save as - the message comes up. I even did a system restore and took out trend micro. I can email the pic & then save but I couldn't possibly do that to every one that I have to save. I think it has something to do with IE7 security. Or maybe windows security. I am getting that stupid info bar every time I blink. Debbie

get firefox and use it, I have no problem at all right clicking and saving to my pc using firefox. Better than IE in so many ways. It is always best to have at least 2 browsers on every pc in case the default one decides to crash.

I can't believe you guys - you are ALWAYS right on the $. I just got off the phone with Dell XPS service. The tech guy put in Firefox. Said IE7 doesn't work & I shouldn't use it. He said it causes all sorts of problems and they can't be fixed. However - you can not remove it cause it is integrated with Vista. So you guys are right again! Thanks for all the help. Now I have to learn vista, a new laptop, wi fi AND firefox. Say a prayer for me. (and yourselves cause I'm sure I'll be here again) Thanks, Debbie.

I forgot - I will put it back on. I had a choice between mcafee & trend micro. I have mcafee on the desktop so I took the 15 months of trend micro instead. And of course - don't know anything about that, either. Debbie

Well glad you got it working now. I never use IE except for windows updates and love firefox.
