I open the pic in paint, go to 'Image', then 'Stretch/Skew' and drop the %. Usually I start with 50% and go from there. Make sure you save it as a jpg.
Try that, let me know if you have any other problems. Shawn

If it is fairly new, your computer may also have a program called Microsoft Photo Editor on it. I discovered it by accident (used to use Paint) and it is very easy to resize pictures with it. If you save the resized picture with a new name you can preserve the original image.

thing you guys need to realize that even if you make the image smaller you're not going to get a small enough pic if the resolution is set to 300 dpi or higher .
sure you shouldn't post anything bigger than 300 or so PIXELS wide but it should also be 72 DPI. i only use photoshop so i can't tell you how to change this is the free paint programs but in photoshop it's under image/image size.
