Hey all...any help would be greatly appreciated....I am building a webpage,
and up until today, have been able to download and save animated gif's...but
the option to "save as"..."file type...gif" is missing, it is only letting me
save as bmp's.

Does anyone know why this has suddenly happened?

HELP!!!!

This problem occurs if the Temporary Internet Files are full.

2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
5. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.
