That's ok.

 As for how to save the image as it's original type I can't help, but someone here probably can soon. You should post what OS and browser you are using to get help faster.

if you know the image type, make sure you save it with that extension... this problem comes up when images are put in pages via CGI scripts, etc, and not a direct link...

Usually this is caused when your Tempory Internet files folder is full.  go to Internet Options either through control panel or by going to Tools>Internet Options in IE and in the General tab in the middle of the window you will see a Delete Files button in a frame called Temporary Internet files.  Click it.  It may take a few minutes depending on the size set up for temporary files, but this should resolve the problem.
