Question Right click .. Save as .. Bitmap ??

Can anyone help please?
When in IE and saving a photo to my HD it usually saves as a jpeg.
In the last day or so it has been saving all images as bitmaps – with no drop down option of a jpeg.

Any ideas why? Is there a setting somewhere? (I’m using Win ME and IE 6.0).

This has happened before but went away after a few days.
And, just to thicken the plot a little – when saving an image that I already know is on my HD as a jpeg - it will save from IE as a jpeg !! even more

Thanks in advance for your replies, Carl.

Check Item 3a on that list first (damaged or incomplete item in Downloaded Program Files). That's the most common fix I find.

Thanks chaps! I noticed this happening to one of my machines the other day, but assumed at the time that the graphics on the website were actually BMPs. Doh!
