Hi Michael,

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.

Delete the Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files:

For XP, type the command in Start/Run dialog. Regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

When I right click and save an image, it always wants to save it as a .bmp
file. How can I stop this?
