Why does IE keep saving .jpg as .bmp?
 

Since yesterday, my Internet Explorer keeps saving JPEG pictures as bitmap pictures. I have no idea why it started doing this.

Anyone else know why this happens and how to change it back?

format c:

Keev had the same problem!

reload the page, that usually helps.

he has a flu or something and he infects everybody!

clear temporary intenet files. restart browser.

i had that problem and i had to reinstall windows. if u have xp its easy to do.

i see my screen upside down now! wtf!

did u confuse ur ass and head again and ur now sittin on ur head?

I am so glad to hear it's not just me...
it's so annoying! :feels-hot

I had the same exact problem... had to use Netscape to save images... but then the glitch just kinda went away after I dicked around with settings...

Yea, what puremeds said, then restart computer should work. It drives me nuts when that shit happens!

Yeah, I fixed it by deleting all the files in my cache. Then re-starting IE.

Soul Rebel - Congrats, you've been hacked if you see your screen upside down. Some kid is most likely playing with your computer.

Get trojan remover. (search in google)

That should fix it

Or when you go to download it's automaticly set for some destination where you don't want it to go.

it's fixed! i turned the monitor upside down :)

haha.. http://support.microsoft.com is a good place to start for problems with ms products.

As it turns out all you need to do is click Tools -> Internet Options - Delete Files

This bmp instead of jpg anomaly happens when your temporary internet folder is full... "Search" is your friend.. try it.

Maybe you should buy a copy of InternetEraser and keep this from becoming a problem?

He farts from his mouth and talks out of his ass.

LOL....that was going to be my suggestion:thumbsup

I hate this fuckin shit! bumping for those feeling the pain or have felt the pain before

Yep had the same shit, I had to save images using Netscape Mozilla for a week until I cleared my cache after about 2 months and then it started saving in .jpg again :)

Didn't relize it was the clearing cache that fixed my problem so thanks guys :)

Sammy

hold CTRL and click on refresh.
Might help.

First i laughed and thought that's a funny guy, then i saw who posted it :)

Clear your cache and delete all offline files. Restart IE.

I think its IE & pc memory problem -> restart

Its some weird glitch within Explorer, because I've had it happen on certain sites and not others during the same timeframe.

What I do is just use "SAVE TARGET" from the thumbnail and it will save as a .jpg.

It's a MS bug which got a fix somewhere on Microsux's homepage.

Just do the following and you will never have this problem again:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced... select 'Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed'...

Just clear IE temporary files
and reset your comp ..

wow thats a big sig you got there

You get that from viewing source code on sites.

what have you all been stealing?

my right save works fine.

:glugglug

gee another reason

You guys find these little problems with PC's fun?

hahaha

Wow man what a sig!!!
hehe amazing

Good deal - that is very useful. I have to delte the temp files about 5 times/day. Just doing reviews would cause the bmp bitch to appear.

Not the case, Fletch. Just from surfing around (I review a ton of daily submits), I would get this problem. One reason I love content Zip files so much LOL.

yep... who needs cache nowadays anyway :)

PS Mac's suck

I was working at a large publishing company that had over 150 Mac's note the word had.

Also the Motorola plant that builds the G4 chips just made the switch to Dell's from the G3's that were using, pretty sad when Mac is there customer and they wont even use the shit.

Maybe for a newbie or a clueless user they are ok, but put them on a big network and the shit hits the fan, also Cisco switches have tons of issues with Mac's on a network, dropping connection slow as hell, it's just not worth it to use anymore.

Cyber3, ever run a packet sniffer on a network with a group of windows machines? They constantly spew garbage around the network.
I don't use windows or macos, but I have, and neither one is pretty when it comes to networking.

hehehe

I know, I was just clownin'

;)

Depends on the ADMIN. If you run a Win2K / Active directory, it dosent "broadcast" anything.. everything is controlled by the directory.... its like the matrix..it owns your ass. Even better.. upgrade to IP v- 6

Oh yea we did all of that, used the new Fluke, bottom line was we had OSX file servers on a segmented network just for the Macs, which was so slow it was a joke, plus we could not keep the OSX file servers up with the load that we had.

We moved them into our Win2k active network on a Compaq cluster server, the difference was amazing all the issues went away.

The final straw was the end users blamed the network for not being able to do their work on time, once on the win2k that excuse was gone. Then they wanted new G4 at 3k a pop they all got 1k Dell's.

There production has never been better, they went form a 100 + Mac's to 2 left that are for type setting.

Bottom line is Mac's suck on a network, we tried everything to get them to work, what a waste of time.
