AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing difficulty saving images from a specific social networking site, where attempts to right-click and save result in blank gif files. The issue may stem from a transparent image overlay placed by the site creator. For Windows XP users, one solution involves viewing the page source to locate the image filename or saving the entire page to access the accompanying files. Additionally, images may be retrievable from the temporary files folder if the page has been viewed. Sorting by internet address can help in locating the desired image. This method has proven effective for some users.

What OS are you using? Obviously, getting any helpful instructions is going to require you to loosen up a little bit and give information about your system.

It's possible that the creator of the site placed a transparent image over top of the one you were trying to download.
 


i am using windows XP and the site from which i am unable to copy is a social networking site ORKUT
 


View the page source and find the filename of the image. If you don't want to look through the html, you could save the entire page and look for the image in the folder that is created for that page's files.
 
I saved the page and luked into the folder accompanying it but all the other pics on that page were there except the one I was trying to save…any suggestions sir ?
 
Was the picture you were trying to save animated...?
 
no it was a normal gif pic
