Look at the properties of any of the problem downloaded pictures. Does it
have a .bmp extension ? If so, that means it has to be opened with Paint.
The biggest cause of this is an overstuffed Temporary Internet Files folder.
Empty it by going to Internet Explorer and selecting Tools>Internet
options...>Temporary Internet Files>Delete Files... Normally, one is told
that this is the only save format; if this fails to cure it, re-post and
someone else with a different solution should answer.
