Can't DL wallpapers - (am I stupid?)

SFC_Tako · 07-27-2007, 05:38 PM

Hey pilgrims!

Am I the only one who can't DL the cool looking wallpapers from this here site? See, when I open them they just close down as soon as I right-click on them...and I sure as shit can't right click on their respective links and save target...I mean c'mon - WTF do they post wallpapers on this site if you can't use them?!?!

Am I the only one with this problem?
I use the new Internet Explorer 7...I know this is a small small shit-problem, but hey I gotta ask cause I wanna have these wallpapers on my workplace PC...you know like something to show off to all the wuzzies who play Counterstrike and shit like that.

Its probably IE7 :P Get Firefox. I used to be a non-believer but now I don't know wtf I would do without it

The tabs are the coolest thing ever.

Works fine on firefox.

Anyhoo, I'll give Slick a bell and get him to fix that

Firefox has the problem too.

Are you sure it didn't just download to your "my documents" folder or something? I tried it just now (with firefox) and when you save the image the window automatically closes (which is a little odd, but whatever) but instead of saving to the desktop it defaulted to the "documents" folder. Search around, I bet its on your computer.

Works fine with me. Check your comp?

Doesn't work on FF and IE when you right click and select 'set as desktop background" either copy and paste it into paint, or save it

No, you're not that stupid.

Right clicking and hitting Set As Desktop doesn't work for some reason. But all you have to do is click on the resolution of the one you want, then when you see the big picture displayed, you have to right click on that and save the file. Then just open the jpg file in windows and set it as desktop from there.

Nah, I don't even get that far...when I try "save target as" I get something like "IE can't fetch - the UI isn't supported" (in swedish)....gotta love IE ha ha ha. I'm kinda lazy so I won't install Firefox (yet). But if this kinda shit keeps happening to me I guess I have to re-evaluate my "slick" approach to MS products

Anyways, thanks all for such a quick response with NO negative vibes at all. You guys in this community are such a far cry from the regular wise asses you meet at http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbattlefield/

Now I just gotta try out this new release, been DL-ing it for an hour now...I just bet it's gonna rock. Let's hope I can get some decent kills too...well at least I KNOW I'll meet some decent players

Cheers all and thanks again!
