Could I suggest downloading and installing Irfanview. Very simple utility that is very easy to use

Here is a link that might be useful: Irfanview

Glad you brought Irfanview up Gene. I was trying to stay on point with the answer. I agree with you as I almost always use Irfanview for resizing pictures.

I love Irfanview for bulk resizing and renaming even though I use Corel PhotoPaint 12

for a quick and easy method with out any downloading you can use an online resizer like snipshot.com or picnik.com I love picnik.

Also there is a windows power toy that you can get that will resize any photo on your pc with just a right click, just google for windows power toys and find the resizer.

Gloria,

I forgot to mention I use Picasa almost exclusively for printing. Since I like to print various sizes and multiple individual photos on a sheet of my grandchildren I like the ease of doing so with Picasa.

I love the power-toy. So easy, one click and its done.

Can the power toy be used on Vista, as that is what I will be using it in?

Google power toy on vista see what pops up I'll check it too

there is a version for vista also
Image Resizer

be aware there is a regular 32 bit version and a 64 bit version get the proper one.

also here are some screen shots of the vista version and how it works

Image Resizer for Vista

When I try to run it I get this "this setup requires the .NET framework version 3.5" what is that?

.NET is a group of files you should have as many programmers will use the modules in the .NET package making life easy for them and you too with fewer bytes downloading programs.

download.microsoft.com - search .net 3.5 and you should be offered it, just read the descript and .. take newest date if you have a choice

I would bet if you went to your windows updates (custom) and looked over in the optional ones on the left for your system version you would find some .net updates listed there.

usually when a program needs .net and it is not on the pc it provides where to get it also.

I thought Vista came with the new version of .net? does it not? I don't have a vista system here.

.net 3.0 was released Nov 2006 - vista went public Jan 30 2007

.net 4.0 is due soon

I can't get power toys image resizer to work so I just deleted it. I use firefox does it work on that or IE?

it is not browser related it works with your operating system not browser, it adds a new context menu item when you right click on a picture on your pc called resize which allows you to resize the pic right there with just a click (as is shown in the link I provided).

did you get the one I posted the link to which is the vista version? and did you get the proper one as to 32 or 64 bit?
it is generally a quite simple program.

Yes I used the link you posted, vista version, 64 bit, maybe I'll try it later.

I reinstalled it today and the restarted my computer and now it works, thank you all.

great news I am glad that you were able to get that neat little tool, I use it all the time with my xp.
