It seems that after SP2, 90% of pictures I try to save from a webpage give me
only one option - untitled bitmap. This is awful, especially when trying to
save a moving .gif!

Is there a setting that has gotten changed on my computer, new html
protocol, or something else?

Why can't I save .jpg, .gif or .png images in their original format in
Microsoft Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer Saves Images As Bitmaps (.bmp Files)

Cannot Save Images in Windows XP as JPG

Control the things you can and Don't Worry about the things you can't

Thank you! I must have gone through about 20 to 30 different pages looking
for help. Finally decided to get help from here. Glad I did!
