Images from Internet save as bmp, not jpg

[Guest]

Is there a default setting that can be changed in windows xp or IE6 that
changes the way images can be saved? all the images are downloading as bmps
when they are clearly jpgs or gifs. Very frustrating when I work with images
on my own website. I have searched the tools and options but no settings are
there to change...

I would appreciate anyone's sage advice in this matter!

Clean out your temp files in IE. Delete all offline content.

You are posting via CDO, that said:

Go to:

IE/Tools/Internet Options/General. Temporary Internet files/Delete Files.

Clear your Temporary Internet Files, then try again.

Suggestion:

Go to IE/Internet Options/Delete Files. Also in Settings change the amount
to 40 MB. This will help in preventing the index files from becoming
overloaded.

You hit the "error" on the head! Thank you for kindly replying to my plea or
help... I knew there had to be some way to fix it. It was the downloaded file
that contained the offenders.... KUDOs to YOU!
