Jpeg and gif ?????

[Bigsease30]

For some reason my computer running win XP will not let
me save pictures off the net as jpeg and gif files. The
only option that it gives me is bitmap. How can I enable
jpeg and gif file formats????

Clear the temporary Internet cache.

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
