    Ok, you know how you can right click on an image to save it? Well, whenever I do, instead of it being a gif or something, it will turn to BMP. It won't save the image the way it was supposed to be, like on a .gif image, it will only save the first frame in BMP.
    It used to not do this, I don't know when it started or what I did to start it, but this is getting annoying.

    Any help?

    When you right click on the image the save as box opens up look down to the the box where it says save file type and see if the type you want is there if not try to select it.

    Yeah, I already tried, it just shows BMP. It sometimes works on a few images, but then when I try an image next to it, it doesn't, so yeah, it sorta sucks

    first off try deleting your temporary internet files and try saving again.

    If that doesnt work please post some system specs eg. OS version?

    Hey, my OS is Win XP Pro SP 2, and I can save a few files and they'd be the same, but it for most .gif files, it wont save

    As Halo stated, clear your browser's cache and that should fix it?

    In Internet Explorer, On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, then General tab.

    Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.

    When prompted click OK.


    You then should remove damaged files in your Downloaded Program Files Folder.

    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options the General tab again.

    Under Temporary Internet files, click Settings, then click View Objects.

    In the Status column, note the files that are listed as either Unknown or Damaged and delete them.

    That's it, you should now be able to save an image in the preferred format.
