All you have to do is right click on the pic and click on "save as" when the window opens to save go to the bottom and click on the bottom little window and change it to jpg.

i've done that! and it doesnt give me jpg as an option, only bmp.

I really miss Windows 3.1. It was the only Windows I ever got to understand.

How do I do save as from the internet? I right click, then hit "Save Picture As" and that's the box that pops up.

Right click, then select save target as, or save as, or save [insert term here] as :)

Are you sure you arent clicking on "save target as" If you are it wont let you save as jpg!!! you need to click on "save picture as" It gives you both opions!

Yeah, I've definitely been hitting save picture as...just like I've been doin it for 10 years, and I can only save as bmp. I use Adobe to convert it to whatever I want afterwards, but I can't figure out why I can't just save it as a jpg to begin with. I hate this machine.

So does anybody think theres some kind of Windows setting that's holding me back here?

*sigh* ill do it only because i really don't like explorer at all. otherwise i would be too pissed about having to install a while new browser just to save things as jpeg

Problems with gif/jpeg saves in MS apps is down to an office patch a while back.
It needs a re-install of the graphics filters.
It doesn't jsut affect Explorer - so sorry all the Moz-lovers :)
But that it affects IE is bad, - so equally sorry to MS lovers :)
A search on MS will find the patch ( or re-isntall the filters from the office disks )
