Right-clicking image does not give the option to save as a JPG

[DanDynasonic]

This is driving me nuts. I periodically lose the ability
to right-click an image on the web and "save as" a JPG
file, even when the native format of the image is a JPG.
Right-clicking on the image defaults to "untitled.bmp".
Saving in any other image format is not an option. I am
running HP Home with all updates. Any clues?

Thanks

It's time to perform some Spring Cleaning:

Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE , and hit enter.
This will start your disk cleanup utility. Make sure to cleanup
your Temporary Internet Files.
