Saving images in IE

[Akalon]

Does anybody have a clue why sometimes, more often than not, when I try to save an image in IE, it only allows me to save it as a bitmap?

The most common solution to this problem is to delete your temporary internet files.

Tools/Internet options/(general tab) click "Delete files"

See this link from Microsoft for more information.

Usually that always happens to me when I bring up a page then the internet is disconnected. While the page it is still up, and the net disconeected, I then try to save it. When it is like this all I can save as it BMP.

All I have to do is reconnect and refresh the page I am trying to save from.

IE is just retarted, when i was using IE6 on win98, it would save .jpg images as .jpeg :/

type in the file extension together with the name? did u turn on hide extensions for known file types in windows?

They're the same file....jpeg and jpg are the same thing.

they're the same, but his image editor may not have recognized jpeg as a known file type

As far as I know, a broken image will show up when opened if it is in the wrong extension

That always happens to me, too.
When the Save dialog comes up, it just shows you that the file name is "untitled" right? That's what always happens to me...
