Ok...I have these pictures that I would like to put on Myspace, but the files are way too big...like thousands of KB. I just got a new camera and it was on the wrong setting so all of the pictures are huge! There is no program that cam with the camera to resize the pictures, so does anyone know of a way to resize them through paint or any other program? I would prefer to not have to download a program, but if I must, I will. Please help! 10 points to the quickest but most accurate answer! Thanks so much!!!

This is a common problem, believe me. These days, digital cameras don't even take photos small enough to put on the web.
Open Paint from the acccessories menu of your PC. Open the photo you want to resize through the file menu of Paint. Pull down the "Image" menu to "Stretch and Skew".
Under the "Stretch" part put 20 (%) in both the horizontal and vertical fields. If that is twice as big as you need, undo (control-Z), and put 10 in. If it's half as big as what you need, undo and put 40 in. In general, you want a photo about 400 or 600 pixels in its biggest dimesion. You can pull down the "Image" menu to attributes to check the pixel height and width.

To change the size of your picture
On the Image menu, click Attributes.
Under Units, click the unit of measurement you want to use for the width and height.
Type the measurements in Width and Height.
Notes
You can also resize your picture by dragging the image resize handles, located at the lower-right corner and along the bottom and right sides of your picture. (You might need to maximize the window to see the square resize handles.)
If your current picture is bigger than the new size, the picture is cut from the right side and bottom to fit within the smaller area. If your current picture is smaller than the new size, the extra area is filled with the selected background color.

If they are of thousant of KB like you said then i'm pretty sure they are in uncopressed mode (most likeley BMPs).
There is no need to crop/resize your images you just need to convert them to another format (best one for your needs is JPG).The good thing that nowdays is a very popular format and i think you cannot find a image wiever who dosen't support them.
Even if you have them in JPG cameras don't have a proper algoritm implemented for that format and for that reason they are way to big compared to same picture compressed by PC software!
You can use even paint for that but you need open and to export (save as) each file manualy, unfortunatly that can take a while
My advice download a free or trial program (like this one for example http://www.processtext.com/abcimage.html) because they are not too big (this one 1.3Mb) and quite easy to use.

Paint:
File > Open...
Select File (Double-Click or Click then Open)
Image > Stretch/Skew...
Set the two 100% options to 50%.
Click OK
Repeat Stretch/Skew 50% to get the file to the size you want.
File > Save As...
Select File Format "JPEG"
Save It wherever (I'd recommend desktop)
Now upload that file.
I recommended JPEG since you are just uploading for show and quality isn't an issue, therefore the image will be quite small.
(It is still sad though that very few digital cameras support PNG for a standard)
Next time consult your manual for info on setting your digicam to 0.3 megapixels (which is a 640x480 resolution), which is the unwriten standard for show+tell photos.

Yes you can re-size them using MS Paint, just open each picture on paint and then re-save them as JPEG file type by using the "Save As" option, perhaps using another name. This will decrease the size about 50% depending on picture size / type. The problem is that you need to do it one-by-one. If you need even further compression try saving them using GIF file type, this will reduce size to about 15% but it will start degrading picture quality. Hope this helps!

simple - just download this program (its free and its small too) www.irfanview.com -
1 open your image
2 goto IMAGE menu
3 use the 'resize/resample' option and set it to whatever size you want.
You can use the option on the same resized image and further reduce the size
also use the 'batch conversion' option under FILE menu to resize all images at once
hope it helps

use a photo editor and change the picture size from 100002 of Pixels to about 600 pixels... than resave it.
and the size of the file itself will be reduced too.
Your camera should have came with photo editing software for free. If not... there is quite a few you can get a free trail for if you do a google search for it.

The programmes below are free and all of them will enable you to re-size your pictures an can even do emailing and burning to DVD or CD etc. Easiest is probably Kodak (60 meg download or picaso around 8 megs. Gimp is 100 megs) all are good
Photo-manipulations
For ease of use and management of your photo files try Kodak easyshare software http://www.kodak.com
or Picasso. http://www.picasa.google.com/
For advanced and fully functional photographic manipulation gimp2 is very similar to Photoshop and is available from http://gimp.org

Try cropping the pics in Paint and see if that allows you to save it as a smaller file
