    Jackie, are you in Windows Live Photo Gallery? That's what I use and I finally figured out I am only allowed to re-size from the smaller thumbnail version of the pic. (Some glitch at Microsoft, for which they have a patch, which takes 75 different clicks to download and....agh, fugggedaboutit.) If I click on the pic to "edit", the resizer won't work. Try going to the folder where the pics are located and right-clicking for re-size in that mode.

    Hey guys, I do not know anything about Windows Live Photo Gallery other than it sucks, always has, and most likely always will. There is a free picture manager program called Picasa. It is made by Google and it is super easy to use. I talked Kristin Ward through the downloading, installing and basic use skills over the phone. It really IS that EASY.

    Here is a link to the website where you can download Picasa. http://picasa.google.com/

    I have used Picasa for MANY YEARS and I LOVE it.

    If either of you want me to talk you through it, I am happy to do so.

    Resizing is easy too.

    Hey MM -- would you mind trying to post a pic and see if you get the "exceeds size limit" message too? I got it trying to post a 212KB jpg, which is WELL within our limits.....

    I understand JIT. I do have 1 very important question for you though.
    After you downloaded Picasa...Did you INSTALL it?
    The download is the first step, then you have to install it, then you may use it.

    Over the years I have discovered if I "take the time" to do something that involves more time than what I really have at the moment, it actually ends up saving me time in the future, which then affords me "extra time" to do some of the regular daily tasks that always seem to get pushed aside...know what I mean?

    BUT, I do not think that resizing is the issue right now...something else on the TSB server/software side.

    sometime ago, I got a virus and my geek could not fix it, he called and told me to come get my pc but it wasn't mine..it was my son's fathers OLD one with my stuff in it...
    and it worked so I did not complain and he never charges me to fix these issues, the geek that is...

    I did go to tyhe epson website and download the software again per my son...however it still won't work...maybe I DO NEED TO INSTALL or something...
    honest...my very first email was to clarrisa...and then I found TSB...other than that I had a fancy freecell machine..
    I had internet for three years and never even knew what it was or how to find it..I just played free cell!
    I am really good on TSB and email..that's it..
    no skill ot know how..I did mange to download Smilie central...
    Phill says downloading crap like Smilie central is probably what gave me the virus in the first place!
    PC is too slow to post on face bookk, takes forever to view others pic and videos on photobucket, but I have learned to be patient..

    Yes, he is most likely correct about the virus and the smilie thing...I like them and would love to use them, but I've learned sometimes it's better to just enjoy from a distance.

    Do you still have the CD that came with the printer/scanner machine? If so, put it in the computer. It will automatically open up and ask you if you want to install the drivers and software for the machine...say yes.

    Downloading is simply acquiring the information from a website and placing it on your machine. (it makes the install process a little faster)
    After the info is downloaded it must be installed. The reason it does not install automatically is a safety measure. A software program file is an executable file and it, for lack of better words, gets into the brain of your machine and makes some changes/saves things. This explanation is a quick simple one, it is actually a little more involved than this, but this is not the forum to go into it.
    Viruses are also a form of executable file, only they are malicious and they have been programmed to install themselves and do terrible things to your machine.
    The best thing you can do to prevent viruses from getting into your machine is to download (& install) a reputable free virus detection/prevention program...some of them are Norton, AVG, Mcafee.
    Then you just need to make sure that you update the virus definitions regularly (this is very easy and takes but a few clicks of the mouse) and run the software at a time when you are not using the machine (usually at night when you are sleeping). It sounds complicated and super deep, but it's not. If you know how to click a mouse, you can use virus detection/protection...most of them are super user friendly.

    Another thing you can do to help speed up your machine is to Defragment your hard drive. Again it is easy to do, but it takes the computer some time to do it (the computer, not you). If you want me to walk you through how to do this, I will. Send me a PM with your number, I will call you and tell you how to do it. Should not take more than 2 minutes.

    Jackie, is it a floppy disk (hard and square) or is it a CD (looks like one that music comes on these days)?

    If it is a DISK, it will not do anything automatically, you have to tell it to do what you want it to do. If it is a CD it will do it automatically.

    The offer of my phone support still stands. I will call you if you want me to.

    on hold with Epson...you called them or are you waiting for the machine, thus meaning you are on hold?

    You may need to re-start the computer in order for it to work correctly now that it is installed.

    If it gets to frustrating, step away from the computer and go to a happy place (go out on the deck and hand out some nuts). Come back later with a clear mind and try again.
