Can't save as jpg format in MS Paint
I just reinstalled Windows and am trying to save an image in Paint as a jpg, but can't seem to do it. MS Paint will only save as .bmp and won't open anything but .bmp files.
I solved this last time by installing my digital camera software which deals with jpgs. For some odd reason, that did not work this time. I have searched on Google, searched on Microsoft.com, and have already asked a few friends, but still cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. MS suggested that I reinstall MS Picture It! (just install in this case- not REinstall) and that would fix it, but that didn't work.
If you have ANY information on what I need to do, PLEASE tell me because I work with images all day every day and need to be able to edit them in MS Paint even if it is one of the worst image editing softwares out there.

Anyway, MS Word is one of the few things I have not installed yet, so this is where my problem exists. *whew*

2) I know how to use it well.
3) It automatically saves jpg images in a low quality format, which I need it to do for thumbnail images for my website. (for fast loading) That's basically all I use Paint for - thumbnails.
4) It doesn't take any time to load.
5) I don't want to install Photoshop on this computer b/c I'm lazy.
If I'm doing any image work other than saving thumbnails, I'll use Photoshop. It's on the same computer Maya is on anyway. (not this computer)

Things I like: there is a resize option for 160x120 pixils that is just one click away. (this is good b/c my site image tags resize all thumbnail images to this size.) It saves in many different formats. Simple, easy to use.
Things I REALLY like: One of the things it installed with the program was a jpg plug-in. This enables me to save in jpg's when I right-click an image from the internet and "save as". Once again, this was one of the things I always used to be able to do before I reformatted my computer, but couldn't afterwards.
Things I don't like: lowest quality setting to save jpg's in doesn't make file sizes small enough. I have a buick emblem image on my site for instance. Paint can save the thumbnail as 4.76 KB while the lowest XnView can save it in is 15.5 KB.
Guess it's not that big of a problem really. 10 KB doesn't matter that much. I think it passes the test.
Thanks for the recommendation David.
