I have found a couple of images here that I have downloaded. I use them as a guide in what little I know about poser, but I am trying to learn. Recently they have been coming over as .bmp's instead of .jpg's, small aggravation but was curious as to what got changed? Or is it at this end (brother borrowed computer so he probably screwed it up). BTW: I delete most of the images but I have kept a few for my own desktop images. I never take credit for or would even think about doing that.

I have had that happen too over the years in fact on various sites, have no idea what causes an image to be only saved as 'untitled.bmp". I hate it too. But, to my knowledge its not something that Renderosity has incorporated onto their html or anything like that. Far as I know, its just some weird, random glitch. AgentSmith Mod

It's a known bug in Internet Explorer. I don't know the fix for it (other than using Netscape ;)). bonni

I've had the same problem. Try deleting the internet cache and cookies and then restarting the computer. It has always fixed it for me.

Thanks to all ...... Will try that

this dialog comes up you can choose what to save it as as well as it being jpg, or bmp But if you are just dragging it to your desktop I cannot help ya :)

Nope, All it gives me is .bmp

Usually, when I refresh the screen, it saves okay.

This happens in IE when your temp internet files are too big/numerous, delete all your temporary internet files and the situation should be fixed. When this happens to me I don't need to reboot either. Hope this helps Oh, I'm on XP pro.

If your IE is saving every image you try to download as .bmp, then it is your internet cache that you need to clear out in IE which will fix that. However, if it is a single image that wants to save as .bmp, then the nearest I can figure when I've had this happen is that the particular image was used as a backdrop or perhaps converted from .bmp originally (leaving some of the identity strings in the header), because I've had this happen on places where they offer wallpaper more than anywhere else. I don't think there is a fix for that, except to save it as .bmp and then convert it later with whatever conversion program you have.

PS: On Win2K, you don't need to reboot either, but you do need to close the browser windows sometimes to get the first scenario to clear after clearing the IE cache.
