HEy,
When im browsing a website and see a picture I want to save, I "Right Click" and then press "Save Picture As...".

For some reason, it will only let me save the picture as a .bmp, even when its a .gif or .png etc.

I press "Type" but the only option is .bmp

You have to clean out your temporary internet files to make room for the picture in any other file format.

James,

Also, If you are using AOL browser (according to THIS LINK):

1. Go into the Preferences of the AOL web browser

2. Turn off the "Use Compressed Graphics" option.

3. You must clear or "Purge" your web browser's cache, which is located under the "Advanced" options.

4. Reload the current web page. After this, you will receive all images in the proper format.
