Cannot resize pictures
Hello
This is slightly off-topic because it isn't directly Office related, but.... With Windows XP (SP2) you have a right-button option on images to resize. You get small, medium, large, handheld and custom. Simply clcik which option and it duplicates your picture and resizes this. At least it used to. Now it doesn't work. I have trawled all the news groups and google, but come up with nothing. Have I uninstalled something? Can anyone recommend somewhere to go for answers? Any good advice? Thanks! Mark |

That was one of a number of features you could add using PowerToys Image
Resizer for Windows XP. As far as I've been able to determine, there is no comparable tool for Vista (yet). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "markdibley" wrote in message ...

I wondered where it came from. I thought it came as part of XP - I must have downloaded it at some point. Well I uninstalled it and loaded it again and it doesn't work (I am using XP btw - SP2). I have checked the registry and found nothing obvious. The task manager shows no activity when you press the OK button and it is meant to resize. I have tried "custom" and I have tried resizing the original rather than creating a copy. THe disk isn't full and the file has write permissions. It doesn't work on pictures in My Pictures, My Documents or on the desktop. It has just stopped working. Ah well |

Ah. I presumed that you were using Vista, and that that's why you didn't
have the feature anymore. I haven't used XP in several years, so I don't know if an update killed Image Resizer, or if you're just "lucky". -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "markdibley" wrote in message ...
