Fred Bower bashed at the keyboard and said:
Since changing over to windows XP almost every time I
want to download a picture it seems to want to download in
bitmap and not jpeg even though the file is listed as jpeg.
Is there a way to change this ? Thanks!
Hi Fred,

Clear your Temporary Internet Files, then try again. To do so to IE/Internet
Options/Delete Files.
Also in Settings change the amount to 40 MB.
This will help in preventing the index files from becoming overloaded.
If that doesn't help check your settings here: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and
navigate to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg. For Content Type, it should read image/jpeg.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg For content Type, it should read: image/jpeg.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif For Content Type is should read image/gif.
NOTE: If you are using AOL: This behavior may occur when AOL's graphic
compression option is turned on. When this option is on, the images are
saved as the .art file type.
Connect to the Internet through AOL, and then visit the following AOL Web
site:
www.aol.com. Click My AOL. On the Settings menu, click Preferences. In
the Preferences dialog box, click Internet Options (WWW). In the Internet
Options dialog box, click to clear the Always Compress Graphics dialog box.
Click to select the Never Compress Graphics dialog box. Click Apply, and
then click OK.
