    Everytime I try to save a picture, the only option the save window gives me is "save as .bmp", eventhough the pics are .jpg's. How can I fix this?

    Use a better graphics program like painshop pro. There are also many free graphics editors on the net that allow multi-format saving.

    It may be that your using paint on win 9x which only saves in BMP, i picked up M$ picutre it 9.0 and that will save to just about any format (and i got it in a value pack of paper and ink cartreges so i cant give you a price)

    Is this in Internet Explorer? Clear your Temporary Internet Files and remove everything from Downloaded Program Files too. This problem is usually caused by a corrupt file in either.

    I use Photoshop but that not what I was referring to. Yes, it is in Internet Explorer and yes clearing my cache helped. Thank You.
