save dialogue options not available to save image

[J bell]

normally one can save an image by clicking on it and the
save dialogue box pop open allowing you to choose the file
fromat.. a gif bmp or jpg...when I attempt to save an
image file while in explorer the only option Im given is
to save as a BMP...even thought the image is a gif..this
only happens on my new computer..how can I increase the
options available in the save as box to include gif and jpg

J bell,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK
