From your description I suspect you're opening an Extended format BMP in a standard paint program. Try opening it in DXTBmp to convert it for editing. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm

As I said, that's what an Extended format BMP (most likely DXT1 or DXT3) looks like in a standard paint program. To make your textures look the same, save out from DXTBmp in one of the Extended BMP formats.
