can only download as .bmp

Can any one tell me why my computer will only download pic files as bitmap form? This has happened twice before, and after reinstalling ie5 and everything else i can think of it usually starts working again.... would like to know why it is doing this. I am sure the pics are in jpeg format, but when i go to save them they show up as bitmap...

You might try increasing your Temporary Internet Files cache size. IE appears to save pictures to cache in original format, but convert them in memory to bmp format. If the cache is full or corrupt, you cannot save as anything but the bmp format that is in memory.

You can also delete the TIF files to fix this.
