Why can't I open a .BMP file into Photoshop?

Another probably stupid question -- why can't I open a .bmp file into Photoshop. I keep having to use another program to convert it to a lossy (jpg) format first. Seems like I'm missing something.

Thanks.

A good description of the problem, mainly.

Does Photoshop tell you to piss off, crash, throw an error message - what?

check out and clear if marked file attributes such as "read only","archive" "reddy" ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????:
