Photos in email download

Just got sent a download - slideshow of great photos to music.

Wanna save a couple to my pictures - no clue - left clicked, right clicked - tried 'print screen' nuffin'

Maybe it's a copyright thing. Any ideas?

Is it a powerpoint file?

If that's what pps stands for, then yes.

If you've got powerpoint you should be able to load it into that - if not, get openoffice and open it in the equivalent package. Mind you it may be protected, if so then you'd have to find a program to hack it......

pps is a self running Power Point file. You don't need Power Point to run it.

If you are using 'Outlook', right click the file in the email and click on 'save as', then browse to the folder you want to save it in and save it. Alternatively, highlight the file, then ctrl+c to copy, then go to a folder in Windows Explorer or My Computer and click inside the folder then us ctrl+v to paste the file in.

Failing the above, try screen capture (Alt-PrintScreen) for each image you want to save. Paste from the clipboard into your image editing software, and crop to remove the Windows-y stuff.

Don't know if you can paste stuff from the clipboard into Irfanveiw. You really need something a bit more sophisicated. PaintShopPro works nicely.
Just Crtl-V to paste and resave after cropping.

Or Google's 'Picasa.'
