now is .bmp, it used to give me loads of options, but for
some unseen reason explorer isn't playing the game. Can

Hi Gary,

Clear your Temporary Internet Files, then try again. To do so to IE/Internet
Options/Delete Files.
Also in Settings change the amount to 40 MB.
This will help in preventing the index files from becoming overloaded.
If that doesn't help check your settings here: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and
navigate to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg. For Content Type, it should read image/jpeg.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg For content Type, it should read: image/jpeg.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif For Content Type is should read image/gif.
NOTE: If you are using AOL: This behavior may occur when AOL's graphic
compression option is turned on. When this option is on, the images are
saved as the .art file type.
Connect to the Internet through AOL, and then visit the following AOL Web
site:
www.aol.com. Click My AOL. On the Settings menu, click Preferences. In
the Preferences dialog box, click Internet Options (WWW). In the Internet
Options dialog box, click to clear the Always Compress Graphics dialog box.
Click to select the Never Compress Graphics dialog box. Click Apply, and
then click OK.
Internet Explorer Does Not Save Graphics Files in the Proper Format
