Changing web image file format

[Mark]

PROBLEM: when I attempt to save image files from the web
the file format is always .bmp - there is no option to
alter the 'save as type' format in the 'Save As' window.
Recently upgraded to XP, plus added Paintshop Pro 7 (also
running Explorer 6). Any suggestions???

This happens if the indexes of the Temporary Internet Files get
overloaded. In Control Panel - Internet Options, in the temporary
internet files section on the General page, click 'Delete files'. Then
I suggest click Settings and reduce the space allowed - 50 MB is
probably generous, and on big drives it tends to choose by default a
setting that is so high that this overload happens
