Save As only bmp!

[Sinan]

For a while, my computer allows me to Save pictures As .bmp type only! I
cannot see and select other types like gif, jpg etc. at Save As box. Does
anyone have an idea? I would appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Your Internet Explorer Temporary Files Cache is full and
needs to be emptied.

Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
and perform some housekeeping.

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
