Post by: Bev Coates (Now Walker) on January 24, 2008, 01:11:38 AM

Title: Re: Hey Bev!
Post by: Michael Alexander on January 24, 2008, 01:14:04 AM
 :36_2_35:  I'm hoping it's installed.... you can check this by clicking the start button on your desktop... the big green one in the bottom left corner....Goto ALL Programs and look if there is a program called POWERTOYS FOR WINDOWS XP

let me know

In reply to your post you just agree with everything it wants to do.... just do the above instruction to see if it's installed...

Post by: Michael Alexander on January 24, 2008, 01:39:29 AM
Bev, before you attaach and post your pic, you must right click on the image, look for the "RESIZE PICTURES" and click on that....  A box will open , choose the small option and press OK... a new image will turn up with the name followed by brackets (SMALL)  that image is small enought to post on the forum....
Title: Re: Hey Bev!
Post by: Bev Coates (Now Walker) on January 24, 2008, 01:43:33 AM
Mike that is exactly what i did ....the small box was already ticked........it wouldnt let me post it saying file was too large....ive just looked in properties of the resized pic........the one that now says small.....and they are the same as the were before....650
Title: Re: Hey Bev!
Post by: Michael Alexander on January 24, 2008, 01:46:54 AM

 beautiful

yougogirl

bighug

cheers

congrats

Well that's a start, well done, I think you must do a bit more research into Georg's software, as the one I use is limited to three sizes only, Georg's program is more professional..... I must go to bed now, as my medication has kicked in and i should be able to sleep....... talk later......

Post by: Michael Alexander on January 24, 2008, 01:55:40 AM
I only changed the settings now to accommodate you, but ideally you should be resizing those pics down to less than 150 kb.......  enjoy posting more pics...

Gnite.....

Title: Re: Hey Bev!
Post by: Michael Alexander on January 24, 2008, 01:56:33 AM
Hey, I just noticed your pictures are right, 19.7kb...that's perfect......
