> 3. file type. i didnt know that but i changed it and it still didnt work.
That won't fix it. If you take, say a .tif file and rename it to a .jpg, it won't make any real difference. It's still a TIFF file, hence the "MIME exception" message you see (MIME is concerned with the file type -- what's in the file -- not necessarily the file extension).
Also, if you didn't see a file extension, then you're just adding to the name, not the extension. To view extensions:
1. Open My Computer
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options
3. On the View tab, clear the box "hide file extensions". Click OK.
Now you'll see the complete file name
