This tutorial is intended for forum users who are having trouble re-sizing pictures to below the 256kb requirement and is a fairly
simple solution to the problem. However this solution will only help those users who are using Windows XP Home or Windows
XP Pro Operating Systems.
Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
Once you have arrived on this webpage entitled " Microsoft Power Toys for Windows XP" read the whole page carefully and
then scroll down the right hand side of the of the page to the eleventh download link named: IMAGE RESIZER. Click on the
link entitled ImageResizer.exe. to download this tool and then follow the directions in the Installshield wizard to install same to
your computer.
It is a very fast and tiny download/install (even on dial-up connections) which will allow you to resize pictures which you already
have installed on your harddrive in "My Pictures".
Here is the beauty of this tiny application: In order to re-size a picture already on your computer located in "My Pictures" all
you need to do is "right click with your mouse" on the image you wish to download and you will see a drop-down menu
appear.Look for the instruction "Resize Pictures" on the drop-down menu and left click on it.
This will open up this wonderful, tiny little program, which has a half-dozen options, with which even the newbiest of newbies
will be able to use quickly and without aggravation providing he/she has downloaded and installed the application properly.
TRUST ME KIDS; THIS IS NOT COMPLICATED!
Download it! Install it! and then experiment with it a bit before trying to download one of your newly re-sized pics into our
forums.
If you have any questions just post them in the thread or PM me and we will get you "squared away" right quick!
Hope this Helps!
