My IE Cache (despite being empty or cleaned or whatever) belives itself to be permanently full, confirmed by gmail telling me that it is full every time I go on my email. Can someone give me some ideas because I cannot save caedes.net pics as jpgs or with the original file name, which wastes both hard drive space and time.
Thanks for reading my annoyed ranting.

try this, Lozaa...

Thanks - this looks really useful

Or upgrade to a real browser like firefox ;-)

Lol, not a bad idea at all..., because even that very useful program, still doesn't work ARG!

Good morning

I use IE - tried Firefox, a truly excellent program, but lacked in areas that IE satisfies for me (all convenience stuff, not important stuff), so back to IE, despite its issues.

Have absolutely no idea what gmail is, but if your cache is emptied and something says it is not, I would target Windoze file handling somewhere, not IE. And why would you save images from Caedes into your IE cache anyway? Doesn't make sense. That is somewhere Windoze writes to, and it may (have never tested, so could be wrong) prevent you from writing directly to there. When you right click and "save picture as", it should be going into another folder you create somewhere, or even onto (as distinct from "as") the desktop. And if it won't save to there, then you definately have a Windoze problem, not an IE problem. To which my usual solution is the ever reliable Microsoft workaround - reformat, reinstall.

Enjoy your day

lol, what is wrong with caedes specifically is that when I click save as it does not read the file name and format, forcing me to save as a bitmap, and to type my own file name.

I suspect this is a problem with the cache, as I had exactly the same problem a while back, and this was fixed by emptying the cache(when it was full), and, as I say, gmail (google's email) says that my cache is always full, despite emptying it. I therefore suspect that the Windows/IE is thinking the cache is full, then not writing to it.

However, I have got firefox, and it works (Yay!, thanks caedes, after months of people trying to persuade me, you were the only one who actually spurred me to do it. (not sure what this says about me though).

Finally, reformating and reinstalling really is an extreame measure, which, although being the ultimate workaround, takes too long.

Thanks everyone for your help

Well said that man!

most likely your problem is in the registry, or some problem with cache size or disk usage...
A good first attempt is to use ccleaner on it this will clean up many miscellanous problems that could be causing you problems as well as help you avoid them in the future.
If that doesn't fix it checking your C drive for errors might help...(I've actually had this be a problem before)...{right click on home drive>properties>check now}. It also never hurts to defrag your HD if you can.
And finally if you can't get it to fix itself either try another browser, or reformat your drive as romane suggested.
