Try going to Windows Update and see if you can download a later version of Microsoft Paint. The old versions of Microsoft Paint did not save as jpg and it is possible you have an old version.

Or you could go to add/remove programs and select windows components and remove Paint then reinstall it. You will need your Windows CD to do this though.

I recommend Windows Update first.

Yeah. The option for jpg isn't even there, so it's not an error, nor is it hardware related. If Windows update doesn't work, try downloading Paint Shop Pro, that can save as jpg.

MS Paint doesn't support JPG... but if the filters are present on the system, it will use them.

If you install MS Office 2000, your MS Paint will suddenly be able to work with JPGs.

If you did install Office 2000 and it still doesn't work, look here:
