I think there may be more than one cause of this problem. If emptying out the temporary 
internet files folder worked for THE TOOLMAN then that's good. As I have stated in 
another thread I empty out my temporary internet files folder regularly so it never 
gets very full, yet I have the same problem from time to time. I use a workaround 
by saving the page as a complete web page and retrieving the image from the folder 
that is created.

As an experiment try saving one of the jpg's of Bogart and Bacall on this page by 
right-clicking on it using Internet Explorer:


http://www.enteringthemindseye.com/boldventure.html


Now try saving one of the images from this page using IE:


http://www.decoderringtheatre.com/


I have no problem saving the Bogart and Bacall images as jpg's but I can only save 
the images on the Decoder Ring Theater page as bmp's when I right-click on them. 
In order to save the images as jpg's I need to save the entire page first and then 
retrieve the jpg from the folder that is created. That says to me it is the way the 
page is coded moreso than anything else.

I wonder if the same thing happens with Firefox?
