When I attept to download an image from any website,
the "save picture as" dialog box only lets me save it as
a bitmapped image (.bmp). What do I do to allow me to
save the pics in their native format (.gif or .jpg)? I
know its a fairly simple answer..I had to do it several
months ago but forget the procedure!

Thanks
 
First, if the TIF's are really packed with files it can lead to this
problem. Control panel>IE Options>delete files>delete all offline content>
OK>OK out. Then:

Internet Explorer Saves Images As Bitmaps (.bmp Files)
