bmp/jpg

[Nanez]

I used to remember what caused pictures to be saved as bmp, instead of jpg.

After clearing files and cookies, jpgs still want to be saved as bmp.

What am I missing?

Thanks

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.
