Saving images problem

[Guest]

I try to save images from the web to my HD, but whenever it asks for the
location and filetype to save, it only shows up to be possible to save it in
..bmp extension.
Yesterday it was fine and now I can only save images from the web in bitmap
extension.
How to resolve this?
I use WinXP 32-bit with SP2

Thanks
