Ok I know the trick is to empty out my cache. However, this is happening like every single day. I'll empty it out, it'll be fine. Then when I go to save a picture it'll want to save it as .bmp. Also this affects me viewing someone's HTML. If I right click, view source, nothing comes up. To alleviate this problem I have to empty my cache once again. However it's very annoying. Any idea on how to get rid of this annoying problem?

In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, "Temporary Internet Files" section, click Settings.

The moral of the story: IE sucks; get Firefox ;)

(i owe the section of this forum bigtime, since here i learned about Firefox, & now i never use IE)

Heh, I'm another member of the "IE sucks" camp. I've been using Opera for a couple years now and have opened IE maybe 20 times since moving to Opera. Life just got better after leaving IE behind :p
