Only saving pictures in bmp format

[Marky Mark]

How come my PC all of a sudden is only allowing me to
save pictures off the web as a bitmap (.bmp) format?
When I right click to save, the only option I'm given is
bitmap, but the picture is actually in a .jpg or other
format.

Hi

Have you tried clearing out your TIF folder - this seems to work for most people.

This happens if the indexes of the Temporary Internet Files get
overloaded. In Control Panel - Internet Options, in the temporary
internet files section on the General page, click 'Delete files'. Then
I suggest click Settings and reduce the space allowed - 50 MB is
probably generous, and on big drives it tends to choose by default a
setting that is so high that this overload happens
