Downloading images forced to bitmap

[Jessica Kiela]

It seems that whenever I right-click on a picture now,
whether it's a GIF or a JPEG (most often this is happening
with JPEGs), Internet Explorer is only giving me one
option - to save it as a bitmap. I'd like to save it in
its original file format (as with all previous versions of
IE). Is there a setting that got accidentally tripped that
I can change? Or do I have to reinstall?

This problem occurs if the Temporary Internet Files are full. Clear the
temporary internet files.

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.
