Whenever I try to copy and paste or "save as" every picture I try to save is a Bitmap image. Even known Jpeg's try to save as BMP......is there a default setting that has changed somewhere?

I ran into this problem 2 weeks ago, I would try to save pictures with a .jpeg extension and WindowsXP would only allow me to save them as Bitmap .bmp extension files. I used the following simple fix and it will fix the problem for me for only about 10 minutes, and then it goes back to saving thing as BITMAP again So, what I was forced to do is to stop using InternetExplorer and I have to use FireFox as my browser now. Although, the following fix will correct the problem - how long it will remain fixed though is unknown.

Just clear out your temp files (cache).

In IE it's: Tools --> Internet Options --> General Tab --> Delete Files

Restart IE and the problem is solved.
