IE HELP! Weird link-clicking problem
Hey everybody,
Whenever I click on a link to a picture, IE doesn't bring me to a new page with the picture on it. IT DOWNLOADS THE PHOTO onto my hard drive!!! Then Simpletext tries to open it but can't, no matter what the size of the photo is. A dialogue box opens up that sez "Simpletxt can't open this up blah blah blah" IE was working normally until this whole change happened. Is it a virus or a file mapping problem? Any and all help would be appreciated.

what's the extension on the photos? If it isn't jpg or gif, IE might not be able to open it. Once it's on the hard drive CONTROL click it, choose show info and change the "open with application" option to something that can open it (preview, quicktime viewer, etc.)
