Saving pictures and the whatnot.

[Seth]

Ok, I've reformatted my PC about 4 times in the last six months. This isn't necessarily a bad thing cuz I like to have my PC all refreshed and virus free.

So here's my problem. Everytime I reformat, about a couple weeks afterward when I want to save files...it will only let me save in .bmp

Right now I can still save .gif files but that's what it was like all the times before when I had this problem. If the same stuff happens then pretty soon I won't be able to save .gif anymore either.

It only gives me one option(.bmp) on any JPEG file. This is nuts. I'll attach an image to show you exactly what it shows me when i want to save something to my harddrive.

I don't know if it's a virus or what, but this has happened to me everytime. I don't have nortan anti virus..just some AVG virus detector...and it hasn't picked up anything.

It's a pain in the ass having to copy, paste, open paintshop, then save as jpeg everytime i want a pic off of the good ol internet. savvy?
