Trouble when Saving Pictures

Sometimes when I right click on an image and click "Save as...", it justs says: The system cannot find the file specified.

It doesn't happen on every picture, but at least in one out of two attempts. And it really pisses me off.

So please, can any of you offer any suggestions that might help fix this problem? Thanks. :)

Could you please be more specific?

What OS are you running? What photo application are you using? Is it related to Microsoft Photo Editor?
 
Well when someone posts an avvy on this forum for example, every so often it doesn't allow me to. Sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn't. :csad:

Avvy? What's that?
 
I think it has something to do with your registry. In particular - the registry that handles file types for images are screwed.

Okay, there are four solutions

FIRST SOLUTION:
If you are using Windows XP, simply go to Windows Explorer, then select an image file, right click it, choose Open With, then Choose Programs. Choose your default image application and check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".

Repeat for common image files such as JPEG, JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, TIF...

TIP: Use Recommended Programs such as Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

SECOND SOLUTION:
Or if you're using older versions of Windows (works on XP too)

1. Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, then Folder Options
2. Go to File Types
3. Browse the list of file types (sorts alphabetically, for example JPEG image)
4. Then, select whatever application you wish to open that particular file extension with
5. Click OK when you're done

THIRD SOLUTION:
The easiest solution. If you have a third party image editing software, for example, Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, just reinstall it. During the setup process, select Custom Installation. Setup process varies, if the software prompts you which file types to link to the software, you just select the affected image file type and proceed with installation.

FOURTH SOLUTION:
If my memory serves me well, if you have Norton SystemWorks, run WinDoctor to fix your registry. Or equivalent software such as Registry Mechanic. Which I think, may resolve your registry problem.

Hope this helps.
