If the above does not work, then try the following:
Cannot save target as BMP or JPEG etc

IE-Tools-Internet Options-Delete Files (in the TIF section)
Clear recycle bin to finish getting rid of the files.
However, if it doesn't, close IE and reopen and do it again. Also it has
been reported that clearing cookies helps, but be sure to save those you
need.
If still no joy, try the following...
If the above fails, then try here:

disk on the Advanced tab of Tools | Options, and the picture is on a page
reached by a secure https:// connection.
