I use to able to save gif files off of the internet. Now when i right click a
picture, the only option that it gives me to save a pic under is bitmap
(bmp). No other option appears. I have tried this on several different places
and still get the same thing. Is there a way to reconfigure my computer
settings, so that when I go to save a file by right clicking, I can choose
how it is saved, i.e. gif., jpeg, etc.
I have tried everything to fix this. I have cleared out my cacahe and temp
internet files. I have tried to save the gif images on my desktop and opening
them in another program. I have even tried emailing them to myself. Nothing
works.

I have tried to right click on images that I created in PSP and saved in
photobucket and now I can only save as bmp. when they should be gif.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Take a look at this article:

If this doesn't solve your problem you might want to post your
question, if you haven't done so already, to the Internet
Explorer newsgroup.

Good luck
