In the Description Of Type box, type Postscript . In the Associated Extension box, type ps, .eps. NOTE: If you do not type a space between "ps," and ".eps," when you download files with the .eps extension or the .ps extension, the files are saved with a ".ps,.eps" extension. In the Content Type (MIME) box, type application/postscript .</li> In the Default Extension For Content Type box, click ".ps, .eps," click OK, and then click OK again.</li> Empty your Temporary Internet Files folder.
