Unfortunately, nobody seems to know the answer to this as
far as Windows XP is concerned. I myself use a program
called PhotoFinish 4.0, which I bought for only $5.00 but
beats Adobe Photodeluxe and MGI Photo Suite by MILES.
After saving the BMP file, I open it in my photo program,
then I convert it to 256 colors. Then I must re-convert
it to 24 bit color before saving it as a JPEG or else the
pic will be saved in gray scale. Sounds like a lot of
work, but this is the only way I have found so far. You
should be able to accomplish this with any photo software
you may have but if not, you can buy PhotoFinish from

Is there a question in this? MS Paint will open .bmp images and then you can save it
as .jpg. If you are saying the only way you can save a file off the Internet is as a
.bmp, then the simplest solution is to empty your cache, in IE, tools, Internet
Options, delete files.
