JPEGs save as unknown file - help!

[Ryanna]

Hey all. Whenever I try to save a .jpg from a webpage, the file won't save as that extention, but rather as just a file. When I right click and select 'Properties', under file name it just says 'File'. These used to save fine and open up in PSP7 with no trouble. Any suggestions as to whats going on and how to fix it? Thanks!

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.
