Cant save as a JPG file from IE

May 7th, 2005

Heya

Up until about a week ago I was able to save a picture as a JPG file from a web page.Now I cant
Any suggestions?
Even if the picture loads as a JPG I still dont get the option when I right click - Save As. Only option is bmp

Sam

Old problem. Simple answer. Delete temporary internet files. In Internet Explorer click on:

Tools - Options - General - Delete files

Need to install Windows again?

I've tried deleting temp internet files, changing the "do not save encrypted pages to disk" button on the advanced page, rebooting, even updating microsoft with all the latest downloads necessary for XP, however still can't save images back to .jpg

Every photo saves as .bmp

Thanks in advanced for any help anyone can give.
