Forced to Save Image as BMP

For about a month now, IE has been acting up in reagrds to
images. Every time I try to save a jpg file to my hard
drive, the only option I'm given is to save it as a
bitmap. We just formatted the drive within the last two
months. Yes, I have IrfanView, but I'd prefer to get to
the root of the problem rather than constantly having to
re-save and delete files - I'm sure it's fragmenting the
hard drive all to hell. So what's wrong, and how do I fix
it?
 
Hi,
Clear the IE cache. From IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete files
and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF folder size to about 50MB
(Settings button) and clear it occasionally.

The usual fix is to clear your cache.
IE-Tools-Internet Options-Delete Files (in the TIF section)

That seems to work about 98% of the time but if it doesn't, close IE
and reopen and do it again. Also it has been reported that clear
cookies helps, but ensure you save any that you need.
