Windows XP >> Saving images from internet I am using windows XP and internet explorer 6, recently when i have tried to
save images from the internet , it will only allow me to save the image as
'untitled' and only as a bmp. even animated gifs can only be saved as a
bmp.This seems to coincide with changing to broadband but everything else
has remained the same. Any suggestions of what I need to tweak will be
appreciated

This happens if the indexes of the Temporary Internet Files get
overloaded. In Control Panel - Internet Options, in the temporary
internet files section on the General page, click 'Delete files'. Then
I suggest click Settings and reduce the space allowed - 50 MB is
probably generous, and on big drives it tends to choose by default a
setting that is so high that this overload happens
