2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
5. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.

Hey, I can only save pictures and graphics from websites
as bitmaps (i.e., I can no longer save as jpeg/gif/etc).
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
