 Alter the "Save as type" at the "Save as" dialog menu.

 I think there may be an update on windows update for that. I know that even on some versions of winXP paint does not support .png

I would look on the microsoft windows homepage though for help.

 If you get OpenOffice, despite its horrible interface, I believe that has a painting program in it., Just Google for it.

Or download a mainstream program like Photoshop or PaintShop Pro, although these probably are surplus to what you need.

 Gimp is a great open source graphics program, it saves excellent gifs and also does pngs: http://www.gimp.org/ or http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

MSpaint can save gifs, but they look like barf <_<

If you don't want to use Gimp you can also make your bmp in Paint and use Irfan View to turn it into a decent gif. Not sure if it does pngs too...
