saving images

[Barry]

When right clicking an image it always saved it as a .jpg
but now it is saving everything as a .bmp. Any idea what
changed or how to change it back?

I have the same problem. When I save an image from the net I am unable to access it again.

Try this, it worked for me
Music, Video, and Photos
Q. Why can't I save .jpg, .gif or .png images in their original
format in Microsoft Internet Explorer?

A. Sometimes, if you right-click an image in Internet Explorer and
choose Save Picture As, the list of available types in the Save As dialog
box will not contain .jpg, .gif, or .png. It will either contain both .bmp
and .art, or only .bmp. Here are two procedures that may fix this problem.

To empty your Temporary Internet Files cache
1.. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet
Options.
2.. On the General tab, click Delete Files.
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).

I recently had the same problem and followed the advice given and it worked
However to change the pics back to jpg i use Irfanview it automatically detects the format and asked if i wanted to change it back, And it worked fine for me. Just giving my 2¢ worth.
