Why is it that when I try to save a photo off the net it only gives me the
option as a bitmap. I scroll the file type menu and there is only bitmap in
there.
Thanks in advance for the help

Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE , and hit enter.
This will start your disk cleanup utility. Make sure to cleanup
your Temporary Internet Files.

Thanks. I tried and I still only get bitmap type option.

Is there any other reason?
