Here it is 2009 and still this problem has not been solved. I have done everything that has been suggested here and on Microsoft Help & Support as well as some suggestions from individuals and nothing has solved this problem . This was not happening when I first started using IE6 Windows XPSP2. Could it be that a MS update caused the problem? I have always installed them.

Sorry, forgot to say you might need to reboot for it to take effect.

In I.E. go to tools and select Internet Options. Click on the Advanced tab and under the Security heading, close to the bottom, uncheck the box next to "Do not save encrypted pages to disk", click ok and the problem is solved. :)

ive tried many times, to clean my temporary internet files, ive uninstalled all the downloaded program files, even if they didnt say "unknown" this still did not help, but if i goto save an image and save the title as "untitled.jpg" it saves as .jpg which is odd, 'cause i can only save in .bmp, or so the selection box says, but needless to say, this problem is very aggrevating and the only way can see to fix it, is result of moving to another browser such as opera.

I've done everything suggestd and have even went as far as running system restore. I still get the same problem. The only thing new that I've added to my computer is the XP service package 2. Would this have anything to do with pictures only being forced to save as bitmaps? I need help please. Thanks.
