Since about 2 weeks ago every attachment I open goes to the download screen but when it opens in the picture viewer it comes up as no preview available. I haven't changed my comp. at all so any suggestions?

Are these old attachments from old threads or new ones?

Here's an example.
In Parts for Sale,
the first post with the paper clip next to it,
Custom Front Intercooler.
Started on the 19 july, Last post on the 22 july,
Two pics come up on the screen but the 3 attachments at the end do as I explained earlier. This is one example and it happened on all the others I tried to look at the other night.

Sounds like a problem with your system

This is just a guess, but it could also be due to a bug in IE which has something to do with saving images when your cache reaches it's maximum size. You might also experience this when you right-click to save a jpeg, and it tries to save it as a BMP file.
The solution is to increase the amount of disk space IE uses to store downloaded files (Tools->Internet Options->Settings) or delete the old files.
Let me know if this works
Sam.

it WILL fix it
