HI Kalin
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:
IE saves images in BMP format only
Tools>Internet Options. Under Temporary Internet Files
Delete Files and then check *Include Offline Content.*
Internet Explorer Does Not Save Graphics Files in the Proper Format
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260650
Why IE will only let you save as BMP:

also.
Cannot save images in proper format
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)
also..
Start > Run > type Regedit in the window
First, back up your Registry
Then navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\ContentType\Image\jpeg
In the rght pane you will see the 'Extension' value is likely to be
<whatever the incorrect extension is>. If the extension listed is not the
incorrect extension then this isn't the solution. If it is the same
incorrect extension, double click on the word 'Extension' and change it to
the correct file format (i.e., .jpg, bmp, gif, etc.)
Save, close the Registry Editor and check to see if this has resolved the
problem.
If you have AOL -
To turn off graphic compression in the AOL client
1. Go to Preferences in AOL.
2. Click Internet properties (or WWW in some versions).
3. Click Web Graphics.
4. Clear Never compress graphics (or Use compressed graphics in some
versions).
Hope this helps.
