Mr. Holly,

There is a bug in the SurfSaver 2.0 Install program that does not setup the
registry correctly to display "SurfSaver Save" and "SurfSaver QuickSave"
when right clicking on images.

To fix this do the following:

Run regedit.exe form the Start->Run menu.
Navigate the hierarchy to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\

There you will see the following keys:
SurfSaver &QuickSave
SurfSaver Sav&e...

Select each one of these and changed the "contexts" value of the right hand
side of the screen to 13 Hexadecimal or 19 Decimal.

You may need to reboot after this or at lest shutdown Internet Explorer and
restart it.

We will have this fixed in our install program soon...
