    Saving pics as bmp's instead of jpeg's

    Why has my computer suddenly started to save all the pics I get off the web etc as bmp's instead of jpeg's? It doesnt even give me the option of choosing. :spangled:

    Thanks 51! :p

    Sorted it.

    Found this.......

    All thats happened is that your Internet Cache has filled up so Windows
    Saves in .BMP to save on space.
    Empty it in IE tools, Internet options, Delete Files...

    Makes no sense? Unless its mono or grayscale, BMPs are bigger...

    don't forget - it's Windows. black equals white. up is down.
