How do you copy pictures from web forums to your PC libraries

Hello everyone.

First time on the forum please feel free to redirect to proper place if I am in error.

I migrated from XP against my will to Windows 7 ...... with latest upgrade to CPU and Memory.

I am an old guy trying to survive in this new world.

My hobby is restoring old WW II Canadian military vehicle so I belong to specific grease monkey related restoration activity. The network is reall WWW.

I currently maintain an extensive personal library of pictures submitted my other likeminded old truck restorer and I keep pictures that I refer to and also share with new comers to the restoration hobby. Up until now I would go back to my old XP system used the right click, save as, and dump in my photo library under the suitable section. Then using a hard wire connection drag it across screens to my new Window 7.

I am tired of doing the round about way.

Why is it not easy, like it used to be in XP.....?

Totally frustrated

PS..... I am not very computer literate so be patient with the explanation.

Thanks Shawn

Step one is to open IE .... which I read as Internet Explorer. I never use it and go to AOL directly as my service provider.

When I hit the big BLUE for IE I am told that I need an update and someone is trying to sell me a Registry Receiver program to get the update.

My right hand is reaching for a hammer !!!

Based on the info supplied by Shawn.

It seems that for some reason when I access my truck forum from AOL I cannot use the "save picture as" to save posted pictures to my library.....

BUT...... when using Internet Explorer to open the truck forum I can save all the pictures I want......

I think the issue is with AOL ....... which I will contact.

I have developed a dislike to IE since I am always delayed when opening it by usueless pop-up advertisement. I may have to learn to use that site to my advantage.

Thanks for your help Shawn

I did open IE in no adds-on...... and for a brief moment was able to access my truck forum and copy pictures to my library....BUT then all hell had broken loose.

I have been bombarded by messages to update my Explorer Internet site...... when I follow through I get sucked in for downloads of third party registry clean up for $$$$. I am now getting messges that are freezing my system and had to shut down manually to clear the screen. I have been given different telephone numbers for technical assistance such as FastFix123 who claim to be partners of Microsoft..... they offer to walk me through a series of key strokes to remove the malware.... I just hang up as I have no way of verify the authenticity of their services of what cast will be associated.

Do I beat a quick retreat to AOL as my provider and forget about IE....?

Is my PC infested?

I regularly use AVG to whcih I have subscribed and paid for...... I am bombarded by messages from AVG that corrupt sites are trying to acess my computer... I instruct not to allow and it clears up.

Would hate to have some bug and be transmitting to friends or other forums.

What can I do????
