'Save' default

[Guest]

Whenever I try to save a picture off the internet, the 'Save-As' window that
lets you save the picture only allows me to save images as .BMP and I can't
save .GIf's or .JPG's. This wasn't the case before, and this wasn't a
setting I enacted, I used to be able to save the files as whatever I liked,
but now I'm only able to select .BMP from the dropdown menu. I was wondering
if there's any way to make it so that I can save jpegs and gifs again.
Please e-mail me at (e-mail address removed) if you can help me out.

Thanks SO much!

Hi,

This problem occurs if the Temporary Internet Files are full. Clear the temporary internet files.

1. Start Internet Explorer
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
5. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.
