I can no longer save in correct format

[Guest]

Hi, whenever i see a picture of something on the
interenet that i might want for a backdrop or something,
whenever i try and save it, it will convert the picture
into a bitmap, meaning i need to go save it with a name,
because all bitmaps are saved as "untitled". This is
aggravating, and does anyone know a fix to this?

That happens when the Temporary Internet Files are too full. In IE click
Tools | Internet Options. Click Delete Files in the Temporary Internet
files section of the General tab. On the nest window place a check mark in
the box to Delete all offline content.

The usual fix is to clear your cache.
IE-Tools-Internet Options-Delete Files (in the TIF section)

That seems to work about 98% of the time but if it doesn't, close IE
and reopen and do it again. Also it has been reported that clear
cookies helps, but ensure you save any that you need.
