internet explorer does not save image in the proper format

[marco]

if I click "save as" on an image jpg or other, if I
change the name of the file it will be saved vithout
extension. If I keep the original name it is saved with
right extension.

Why???
thanks

Does it try to save as a BMP file?
That happens when the Temporary Internet Files are too full. In IE click
Tools | Internet Options. Click Delete Files in the Temporary Internet
files section of the General tab. On the next window place a check mark in
the box to Delete all offline content.

No, it save the file with no extension, then I need to

choose the program to open it.
If I check the properties of the file in the file type it
is mentioned: "file".

it'll do that if you have a full stop (period) in the filename - just rename
the file, deleting the full stops, and add '.jpg' at the end

example: the image name is: image. save file as .jpg.
in this case the file will be saved as image.jpg and will
open in windows viewer.
if I change the name to : image1 and press save, the file
will save without extension and I will be asked which
program to use to open it. The fact is that in another
computer also running xp explorer 6.0 it will be saved as
jpg and open accordingly.
