Saving on-line photos as jpeg's

Just recently I noticed that when I try to save an on-line photo, it want's
to save it as a bitmap file, and is not giving me an option to save it as
jpeg. Does anyone know why this is???

Hi there, this Newsgroups deals with Windows Update problems. If the below
information isn't of assistance, you should post to a more appropriate newsgroup for
your operating system

Here are two procedures that may fix this problem.

To empty your Temporary Internet Files cache
1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, click Delete Files.

To turn off graphic compression in the AOL client
1. Go to Preferences in AOL.
2. Click Internet properties (or WWW in some versions).
3. Click Web Graphics.
4. Clear Never compress graphics (or Use compressed graphics in some versions).

If that doesn't help:
