Unless your computer is completely bootleg, you probably have a program on the computer that can handle jpg compression - windows often comes with an application called "Image Preview" that allows opening of .jpg files, and newer versions can handle on-the-fly extension changes (ie .jpg is recognized automatically).
Also, IE or Netscape (or Opera or whatever) can open .jpg files . . . so obviously you have the capability.
I'd guess it's just something messed up on the browser options - try to save it as .bmp, then change the file extension and open with IE. If it opens, check the extension on the browser bar . . .
