i guess you use windows. open your picture in MS paint, along the top click image, stretch & skew, and 40% is a good start. save, then upload here

You could just try sitting further away from the screen

Or, I use a free download bit of software called Irfanview, have a google search for it, that is useful for re-sizing

The easiest tool is here:

Linky

It's a Microsoft powertoy to resize images, just install it, then in Windows, right-click on the images you want to resize and choose Resize images - you can choose default sizes or a custom size, and by default it makes a copy of the original image so if it's still too big or small you can resize again from the original (if you shrink an image then enlarge it, you'll lose quality - keep the big ones and always shrink to a copy).

I use that too - a "quantity of urine" to use for simple resizing. It only works for XP though - I think you have to do something else for Vista
