Saving pics

[Don]

When I am on the internet and using ie and I save a lot of
different pics. Sometimes I try to save pics using
the "save as" option after I right click the pic or chose
from File menu. The problem is that I am not allowed to
save the pic as a jpeg enen though I know(for a fact) the
pic is a jpeg. When I am in the "save as" box it only
allows me to save "Save as type" as a bitmap(no other
options in drop down box). It will do this on every web
page I am on. Then sometimes mysteriously it starts
letting me save pics as jpegs again. When I try to
manually type in name as (example-Lou01.jpg) it saves it
but when I click on it I get no pic. I would love to hear
any solutions or ideas why this happens I would Love ya
for it. Oh yeah rebooting makes no difference.

Hi Don,

Have you tried emptying your IE cache? That should sort out your problem.
