Windows xp will not let me save a picture in any other
format but *.bmp! It started this about two days ago and
I have tried everything I know to get it back to having
the options in the drop down box. All I have is bitmap.
Once I save it on hard drive I then can open it and
resave as a *.jpg. But this is kind of a pain. Anyone
have any thoughts on this! Thanks
 
In Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, delete the Temporary Internet
files.

Click to expand...

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
