Message:   Downloading pics with Netscape

From: Joe     Sent: 26 Dec. 1999     Message 1 of 3

There is a problem involved in downloading pics from MSN Web Communities if you are using a Netscape browser.

To download pics using Netscape, do as follows:

1. Enlarge the pic, i.e., don't try to download the thumbnail.

2. Right-click on the pic and select Save Image As.

3. A file navigation dialog box opens up. Navigate to the proper folder on your hard disk. (This only has to be done the first time.)

4. Now comes the strange part. Netscape has suggested "fetch.dll" as the default file name. YOU MUST CHANGE THIS NAME. Type in the proper file name for the picture, for example "cindy300.jpg".

5. Click on Save to download the file.

Except for point 4 the above procedure is the same as you would use at any other web site. Point 4 is unusual, and is apparently due to an incompatibility between MSN Web Communities and Netscape's browsers.

Yours, Joe
