General help request with win xp "save as"
Greetings,
When I right click on a picture in internet explorer and choose "Save Picture As", it will only show the file to be a bitmap, even though the properties show it to be a jpeg file. Same option as when the little pop up window comes into view in the picture. If I choose to email the picture, it shows up in the new email as a jpeg. I can select the same picture on another computer and it gives me the jpeg option up front.
I'm using XP and am up to date on updates.
Any helpful suggestions on where to start looking?
Thanks,
Jim

Weird windows stuff I guess.

When you download or view many many images, xp starts trying to d/l them as unititled.bmp Deleting the temp internet files fixes it.
