I searched quite a lot about that and the conclusion was, that i need to have my images converted to a .ps format in order to be able to load them. Since i had no idea on how i'd be able to convert them into that format i searched again and i found out that a suitable Postscript printer driver is able to make this conversion from a jpeg or bmp to a .ps file. Thus, i downloaded quite a lot of defferent types of Postscript printer drivers but unfortunatelly nothing has worked so far..!

If you use pdflatex instead of latex, you can use .jpg and .png files
directly. For the conversion to .eps or .ps you can use ImageMagick or
the Gimp.
