Saving images as bitmaps

Problem continues after I have:

1. Deleted all Temporary Internet Files.
2. Deleted all unknown objects as advised in other KBs.
3. Using XP, typed the command in Start/Run dialog.
Regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

What's up with this? How can this be fixed?
 
Did both of these as they were suggested by the KBs. Also
deleted all objects as deleting the unknown and damaged
object deletion didn't clear the problem. AFIK, I'd done
every recommended step without correcting the problem.
What next?
 
Did that to no effect. Still broken. What next?

Try typing this at the Start | Run

REGSVR32 /i MSHTML.DLL

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

I don't think that will help. Too many look out for rocks
warnings and not a mention about fixing the problem I have.

HELLOOO! Microsoft. How do I fix your IE software that has
broken itself (and why does it still do that in v.6 after
it did it in v.4 and v.5?)?
 
Ok. Anything I find on this seems to relate to a corrupted "index.dat" file
in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. Here is my fix.

First I assume you are using Windows XP. (if Win 98 or other, the procedure
is similar - let me know if req'd)

If you have enabled to "make your folders private", you need to shut this
off.
*Rightclick Start button | click Explore
*Rightclick your Username in "Documents and Settings" folder | Go to
"Sharing...."
*UNCHECK - "Make this folder private"
*Be sure there is another User Account set up on the machine as
Administrator.

Now:
*Log off your User account and Log on to the system with a different User
Account.
*Rightclick Start button | Explore
*Expand your own User account to: \Documents and
Settings\your_user_name\Local Settings
*Delete the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. If Windows complains that
it's a system folder - go ahead and delete - Windows will build a brand new
folder when you log back in.

Assuming this works, you may want to check out a little program called
CacheSentry http://www.enigmaticsoftware.com/
This will keep the index.dat file from corruption, among other things.
 
That worked! While the problem was very likely a corrupt
index.dat file, I also have a suspicion that a stock photo
site had something to do with this because the problem
occurred while saving a "markup" image.

Thank you very much, John.
 
I like it when a plan comes together! Yes, the image itself may be
corrupted, perhaps just a glitch in the download or even partially
downloaded images/files - any or all of this can cause the problem as well
as stray files and URL's in the index pointing to items that have long been
flushed. Sometimes the best way to clean house is to use a bulldozer. Glad
it worked.
