Problem saving pictures in anything others than .bmp or .art

Hi, when I right click on a picture on a web page and try to save it to pc it
will only allow me to save it as either bitmap or art - used to accept about
30 different file types including Jpeg. Is there a way I can change the
settings to allow saving in jpeg or why has it changed?

Clean out the temporary internet files folder. (Tools, Internet Options,
Delete Files button)

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, "General" tab, Under "Temporary Internet
Files", click the "Delete Files" button, check the box, "Delete all offline content", "OK",
click the "Delete Cookies" button, "OK". After it finishes, click the "Settings" button and
lower the amount of disk space to use to 20 Meg. Click "OK", "Apply". That will increase your
hard drive space by how much was in that folder. I've seen it well over a gig. Folders that big
are prone to crosslinked files. Clear it weekly, or sooner, especially if IE starts acting
funny. You can automate the process by clicking the "Advanced" tab, scroll down to "Security",
and check the box, "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed", click
"Apply", "OK", Shutdown IE, and restart it.
