Save Picture As... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

MikeyChalupa · 01-03-2005, 08:05 AM

Used to be, when I did Right Click>Save Picture As... it defaulted to the image's name and .jpg format or whatever format the image was in. For some reason, now my computer wants to default to "Untitled" in .bmp format for all images.

Anyone know why, or how I can change it back to the way it used to be? HELP!

Thanks in advance...

Oh yeah, I'm running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) on a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion zd7000 laptop.

Are you still using IE? Try clearing your cache.

Its a bug in IE so when the internet cache becomes full it will only save things as .bmp
