How Do You Make Windows Stop Refusing To Save Images In Any Format Other Than Bitmap?
Occassionally, you may experience an an error which causes any image file you try to save to be saved as a bitmap (.BMP) file, regardless of the orginal file type. Generally, this is caused by an excessively large internet cache, which is created by Internet’s Explorer’s attempts to save every file you open on the local hard drive. • Click “Tools” on the Internet Explorer toolbar. • Click “Internet Options.” A dialog box will appear. • Click the button marked “Delete Files.” • The mouse cursor will change to an hourglass until the operation is complete. If your internet cache is large, this may take several minutes. • When the hourglass cursor disappears, click “Delete Cookies.” • Click “OK.” • Reboot. Attempt to save an image file. You should now have the option to save it in the original format.
