Immage trouble!

I want to create a webpage that has a series of bmp images on it, however
when i drag the image into frontpage all i get is a square with a red x in it.
What am i doin wrong?

Don't put BMPs on the web.

First, they're absolutely huge when compared to other formats in use.
Second, they're a windows format so they're not supported on non-MS
platforms necessarily
You need to convert the image into a JPG or Gif first (you could also do PNG
but older browsers don't support this format well).

You need to open the bmp image files in an image editor and save them as
..gif

Ok, so i tried opening the image using paint, then i save as... and i used
GIF as a format, but it still gives me a red x.
Is this something wrong with me or my computer?

If you left the file name the same, when you re-import it make sure you let
it overwrite the existing file already in FP.

I do that! i save the new picture in a new file folder, then when it comes
time to put it on site it does not work!
maby i need to regulate something inside frontpage to make it see pictures
that normally it can't? or maby i am trying to put in pictures that are too
big or have too many colors or something like that!

If you've put it into a new folder make sure you use that image, iow remove
the original image from your design and use the new one from the new folder.

If your original bmp had a lot of colors and you saved it as a gif it might
look crappy but it should still work.

Post the url to the page with the image problem so we can see it (or not see
it).

If you've converted to a .jpg it must be a RGB jpg and not CMYK.

Wait! what do you mean by RGB jpg or CMYK?
when i choose to save picture as.... and i pick jpg it does not tell me what
kind of jpg to save it as.
I use paint to save the picture, do you think i shuld save with a different
program?
is there some way of changing type of jpg?

cmyk is for print and if a jpg is saved in cmyk colorspace it will not work
on the web. I don't think Paint is capable of cmyk though.

can you show us the page with the missing image?

sorry, i can't, it is copywrited and i agreed not to publish it on the net.
now for my question, if paint is not capable of saving in a way that will
show up in frontpage, as i have tried, then i am obviously using the wrong
program.
what program do you think i shuld use to save the picture?
