Saves in .bmp format only

[jacob farino]

I have IE6, and suddenly, everytime I right click on a .jpg picture in the
browser, go to save picture as, it only allows me to save as a .bmp (and the
file name is always "untitled")

I cleared my internet cookies, and deleted all offline and online temporary
internet files. Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much,
Jacob

Jacob,

Delete the index.dat completely

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix the 'Content Type' settings:

regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
(and/or)
regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll (for WinXP)

WinXP) command (i use windows xp, home edition) and it still didn't work.
any other suggestions????

"Every time"? or just some particular ones? (e.g. only uncached ones?)

E.g. what happens if you do this:
1. Open the TIF viewer (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V)
2. Look for some .jpg (press F3, enter *.jpg)
3. Drag one of the cached .jpg to an IE window
4. Can you save it? (In particular is the name "Untitled"? <eg>)
