Is this new with XP? I used to be able to save them as
jpg files. Any way around this?

I've never encountered the problem with 98se or W2K, I just live with it and
delete the temp internet files on occasion.

When saving pictures do not get a choice is the save as
box. bmp is the only choice shown.

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
