[Michael]

only the BPM Format I've tried the enclosed from
Microsoft...ANyone have anysuggestions??? HELP!

TRIED:

You can use any one of three methods to work around this
issue.
Workaround for Cause 1
To resolve, delete the temporary internet files by
selecting Tools, Options, General tab and select the
Delete Files button.

NOTE: To locate the Temporary Internet Files folder, click
Options on the Tools menu, click the General tab, and then
click Settings. The current location is indicated in the
Settings dialog box.
Workaround for Cause 2
To workaround, uncheck "Do not save encrypted pages to
disk" from Tools, Options, Advanced Tab. Then select View,
Refresh to reload the page.


Workaround for Cause 3
Method 1
Open the Temporary Internet Files directory and locate the
image that you attempted to save.
Right click the image and click Open.
When the image loads into Internet Explorer, right click
the image and click Save Picture As. The correct file type
and name should be correct.
Method 2
Type in the direct path to the image that you wish to save.
When the image loads into Internet Explorer, right click
the image and select Save Picture As. The correct file
type and name should be correct.

Michael,

Two other things which you can try:
1. IE/Internet Options/Delete Files. Also in Settings change the amount to 40 MB. This will help in preventing the index files from becoming overloaded.

2. If that doesn't help check your settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg
For Content Type, it should read "image/jpeg".

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg
For content Type, it should read: image/jpeg

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif
For Content Type is should read "image/gif"

If it already set to that, go to Start, Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll, regsvr32 /i shdoc401.dll,regsvr32 webvw.dll and regsvr32 thumbvw.dll (for upgrades). and "regsvr32 /i mshtml"
