Saving pictures went haywire. Help!

[Gold Metal Flake]

When I right click on an image and select "save Picture As" it comes up as an untitled bitmap, regardless of what format or name the original is. My Win-ME laptop started doing this, and now my Win-XP machine is doing it as well!

I can not find any settings that would explain this, and I have changed nothing on either machine. How do I fix this???

1. That seems normal to me

You should have a little pull-down at the bottom of the Save dialog box that allows you to choose the format, which is most likely going to be either jpg or bmp format.

Do you have the pull-down?

Not sure why it is coming up as untitled, however. Let me do some investimigating. :)
