Saving images

[Guest]

A long time ago I had a problem saving images. Every attempt at saving
changed JPEGs to Bitmap. With the help of this Forum (setting browser to
empty Internet files automatically) I solved the problem. Now it's back!
Using the previous steps has no effect. Any suggestions?

Omer,

This problem occurs if the Temporary Internet Files are full.

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.

From David Candy: " Clear your cache to fix. Reduce the size to prevent. "
