    I just want this picture that is mine. In firefox I drag it to my desktop and it comes out a garbled mess. In IE when I right click and click save it does the same.

    If I drag any other pictures from other websites they appear on my computer just fine. What gives?

    I tried that and still no luck. I searched for large random pictures on google and can take those just fine.

    Can anyone post a large picture from their photobucket? I searched and it appears to only happen to my own pictures for some reason.

    It does with with IE and FF

    Got a trick for you.

    Right click on the image after zooming it out. Then "copy image". Next step open up Paint, Edit then Paste - bingo!

    cheers ...

    Since the image is yours, did you set any configuration settings that would have the effect of limiting or preventing copying?

    Try going to tool, page info, media, then look under the images and find the image and click save as, But if all the other options don't work i cant be sure this will either.
