Saving Photos as JPEG Image

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have Windows XP Home edition, my problem is when I want to save a photo off
the Internet I can only save 1 or 2 as jpeg. They start coming as Bitmap.I
clean out the temporary Internet files and I get the same result. I hope
there is an easy fix. The last time this happened I formatted my hard drive
to fix,the problem.

There is, to the best of my knowledge, no permanent fix. Basically,
you need to clean up your temporary Internet files. This should be done
periodically, anyway, as part of your routine PC maintenance.

This problem occurs if the Temporary Internet Files are full.

1. Start Internet Explorer
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
5. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.

And if you don't want to screw around with all this, try using Thunderbird
rather than IE.

And if you don't want to have to repeatedly delete temp files, try out Firefox
rather than IE.
