Some Windows XP advice

[Bill A]

Hi, I have noticed lately that when I save a picture from the internet and its a jpg, when I right click the picture and choose "save picture as" my computer saves it as a bitmap, not a jpeg. Does anyone know why this is happening? I know the picture is not a bitmap.Thanks,Bill

I think if you go to the box just below the picture title, click on the down arrow, you can select the *.jpg format. Since you selected the "save picture as", Windows is giving you the choice of the format. If you use the "save", it should save the picture in the present format.

I tried that, I can only save it on bitmap, thats my only option.Thanks,Bill
