Saving pictures

[grsode]

When I try to "save as..." a picture on the web with the right click I only
have the txt or bmp option. I used to be able to save as a jpg or gif.
Does anyone know how I can change this?

you can just rename the picture file from .bmp to .jpg
works for me all the time.....

Basically, you need to clean up your temporary Internet files.

Internet Explorer Does Not Save Graphics Files in Proper Format

This is a known issue, which occurs when your Temporary Internet Files
folder is full. With Internet Explorer open, click the Tools menu, click
Internet Options, on the General tab, under the heading Temporary Internet
Files, click on the Delete Files button. A small Delete Files dialog box
will open, click on the small box to the left of Delete Offline Content to
put a checkmark in it, then click the OK button at the bottom of that dialog
box. You'll hear your hard drive going while the files are being deleted.
When the drive activity stops, close the remaining dialog box, close
Internet Explorer, reboot your system. You should now have the option to
save as JPG or GIF.

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
