When I try to save a picture from the internet, I only get the option to save it as a bmp, where as before I could choose about 6 or 7 different formats such as jpeg(which is what I want)
I had this trouble before and it was cured briefly by deleting all temperary internet files. But after I have saved about 4 or 5 images, it reverts back to only saving as bmp's !!

Get a third party image editing program like acdsee or irfanview. Lots of saving options that way.
