Only one option when saving pictures from the web

[Battalion IMO-1]

Hi everyone...

I am having a problem when trying to save pictures from the web. More of an
annoyance, really...

I'll right click on a picture in IE, and when I go to "Save Picture As...",
the only option I get is Bitmap (.bmp extension). This is even when the
picture I am trying to save is a JPG.

The strange thing is, I USED to have the option of saving the pictures as
the file type it is from the web.

Thanks for any help, and I apologize if my message is unclear. Up Waaay past
my bedtime.

Have a good evening.

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.

In Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files.
This will empty the temp internet files.
