Does anyone know how to convert a Bitmap image to a JPEG image on Windows Vista?

Doing a graphic conversion is not dependent on the operating system. Open any graphics program you have installed, open the bitmap image and then do a Save As and select jpeg format.

If you need a nice graphics editor that works very well and is user friently:

GetPaint

or you can use this PhotoShop-like free online graphics editor:

Graphics Editor

I just use the built in paint in Windows. Open the image file and Save As with a different file type.

I would have recommended the built-in Paint program except for the fact that it does not save jpegs of very good quality. The program I mentioned allows setting of the quality of each jpeg image and thus the file size. Being a free program was better than recommending using PhotoShop. Even the online Graphics Editor is better to use than Paint.

A viewer and a converter, regularly use this to convert Paint Shop Pro image files from PSP to JPEG. Batch convertor feature is excellent, can resize, adjust, crop, etc in one fell swoop.
