Thanks for the info, I had same problem and to solve it I used another browser when I need to save a picture.

I have had the same problem and found the same KB article. I did as Microsoft say :), but that still didn't fix the problem. I think that I actually chased down two KB articles, neither worked.

It does usually work, though it takes a long time to clear out the cache and IE goes unresponsive during that time. You also have to refresh the page or restart IE before you can save the picture.

But this has been a known problem for years, since IE 5.0, so why has there not been a fix for it?
When the cache is getting nearly full a background thread should remove the least recently access resources.
It should keep a minimum of 5% of the cache space free so that it never gets completely free.

How many people have had this problem in the last few years? How many have failed to find the solution and have given up? How long has this been a known issue?

You also won't be able to view source.

Can't believe they have never fixed it, I have had this problem since IE 6 was released.

Usually clearing your cache and cookies fixes it.
When I have seen it, it was a cache corruption issue, not a out of space issue.

Have to delete all offline files.

In some instances, I've had to close all instances of IE.

In some other instances, I've had to reboot the machine.

Use FireFox instead ;)

Been looking for the cause and fix of this BMP save issue for some time. Thanks!

Type filename.jpg and it just works

In the save dialog that suggests "filename.bmp", simply change that to "filename.jpg" and press Save. It actually saves in .jpg format then.
