Sounds a bit odd, can you not go into your camera software? There may be an option to change the files.

Its hard to help, not being able to look at it.

it does sound like it could be the camera software. Have you tried saving it to somewhere else on your computer?

I'm unsure what the problem is, but what are you using to view the pics??

I use a program called Ifran View and its brillaint. I'd try that and see if that helps. Sometimes if your using windows own programs, they are a tad basic and might not reckonise jpegs or pny's or gif's etc..

Try Ifran View and please let us know what the out come is...

This is most likely an Internet Explorer issue, try this...

When you try to save a graphics file in Internet Explorer, you may be able to save the file only as a .bmp file even if the file is in another format (such as .gif or .jpeg). The file name may also appear as Untitled.
This can be caused by various conditions:

A full or "corrupted" Temporary Internet cache
You have the setting Do not save encrypted pages to disk selected in Tools > Options, Advanced tab and are loading the page on which the graphics are via a secure connection (https).
If you are using AOL, and have AOL's graphic compression option is turned on. In that case, graphics are saved as .art file type.
Depending on the specific cause for your issue, use one of the following methods to fix the issue:

Delete your browsers Temporary Internet files. You can do that by selecting Tools > Options, select the General tab, and then click the Delete Files button.
Change the setting Do not save encrypted pages to disk by clearing the check box. This setting can be found by going to Tools > Options, Advanced tab on Internet Explorer's menu.
Switch off AOL's graphic compression. Select My AOL > Settings > Preferences, in the Preferences dialog box, select Internet Options (WWW), and in the dialog box that openes, click to clear the Always Compress Graphics check box. Click to select Never Compress Graphics, then click Apply, and OK. If that doesn't help check your registry, to see if the entries are correct.

Start the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> type 'regedit' then enter)
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif
The Content Type (listed in the right pane) should heve the value image/gif
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg
The Content Type (listed in the right pane) should heve the value image/jpeg
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg
The Content Type (listed in the right pane) should heve the value image/jpeg

Not a problem. Oh, and bad luck in the final (from a Man Utd fan!).
