When trying to save an image from the web, I get only
bitmap as a choice. This occurs when the image is a known
jpg. Problem is new. What is happening?

This is usually because your browser's temporary internet cache is
full. Delete it and it should be fine.

  Basically, you need to clean up your temporary Internet files.

This happened to me once before.  I believe the solution was to go to
Inernet Options on the IE Toolbar and "Delete Temporary Internet Files".
That cleared things out.  I have to do that every few months to prevent
recurrence.

The Temporary Internet Files cache is probably full. If maintaining the
cache is not necessary to you, it can be automatically emptied by going
to Internet Options, Advanced Tab, Security section, check on "Empty
Temporary Internet files when browser is closed."

I did empty the temp internet files. Problem still
presists. Any other ideas?

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
I did as you suggested but the problem still persists.
What else can I do?
Chuck

This arises for some reason when the index for Temporary Internet Files
gets overloaded.  Go to Control Panel - Internet Options and in the
middle, Temporary internet files click 'Delete files'  When that is done
I suggest going to its Settings (next button) and cutting down the
amount of space it can use - 40 or 50 MB should be plenty if you are not
in the habit of downloading enormous files
