[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I don't use PSP, but according to the following guide -taken from - [/FONT]How to install PSP tubes.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] - you need to LEFT-Click not Right-Click. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How to install PSP Picture Tubes

[/FONT] First, you need to download the zip file in which the tube is in by left-clicking on the image and choose Save to Disk. Then choose a place where you want the file at on your hard drive. Now unzip the tube into the same place.

Open the tube in Paint Shop Pro.

Next, go to File, Export, and click on Picture Tube. Name the tube in the box provided and press OK. That's it!

Hi Sallydally
I don't use these but I have just gone on to two sites and amongst the free downloads they all are in jpeg format. If you save as BMP then it is very easy to save as a jpeg within your image editing software. You don't say which Corel product you use but they will all do that. Actually a BMP is a better format than Jpeg in a way as it is uncompressed whereas all jpegs are compressed to a greater or lesser degree. Tiff is also uncompressed. The more compressed a file the smaller it is but you do gradually loose quality. If you would post the link to the actual tube you are trying to download I will try it on my system for you! Give me the URL to the page and the name of the file!

Hi Irene
That's strange because i have been looking a few PSP Tube sites and you can just download the images by right clicking, choose "Save image as" and you open the usual window to nominate the older where you want to save the image. No mention of Zip files as far as i can see and as a jpeg, tiff or bitmap you can open them in any image editor. No need to have Paint Shop Pro. The freebie Picasa will open them OK

Thank You to all here.I kind of have it solved.I tried now in slimbrowser and all tubes working just fine..I never had a problem before untill recently .so mayby somehow the setting is wrong in IE8???
yes Mitchell,that's what I alway's had done ---save as jpeg,ect but it only let me save as bitmap no other choice and the background was black and I could not use the tube.

Obviously something I can use a a personal project...

Due to permanently retire any time soon... maybe!
Need lots of things to think about and explore.
