When I right-click and save a picture it keeps saving it as a .bmp. How do I fix?
 

When I try to save regular .jpg or .gif pictures on my computer, it now saves it as a .bmp. It just recently started doing this, and I'm not quite sure why? Has anyone ever had this problem and do you know how to fix it so it saves the picture as the format that it truley is? thanks.

clear your temporary files... and restart IE.

I thought I was the only person having this problem.

It happened to me too

Its a kink in Explorer. Get the most up-to-date version. Since I updated I haven't had it happen anymore.

You can right click and do a save target from the thumb also.

just stop thieve pics :)

If the address ends in ".JPG" or ".gif" you will have problems.
If its embedded on an html file or a link you wont have any problem.

This may help you out...

IF the Image is hosted on a Win2K server
running DAF for password protection,
ALL images will be BMP...

when this happens to me i just copy url and paste in mozilla...

My IE 6.xx want's 2 save all .jpg's as .jpeg's and I have the up-to-date version, been doing this for some time. Nutscape saves them as .jpg's.

that shit happens to me too! after clearing cache and restarting IE is goes back to jpg

I've tried that I don't know how many times.

anyone have the problem in IE 6 that it wants to save all .JPG image files as .JPE ?

I had this problem once.

I just found a .jpg on my computer, right-clicked on it, and selected it to open with Internet Explorer.

IE worked again after that.

USE NETSCAPE:winkwink:
