| 321333 | 2005-02-04 01:45:00 | I recently downloaded Power Toys image resizer on 2 different computers both running Windows XP sp2 home editions. It works perfectly on one but not the other.....the option is there on the menu when I right click the image and allows me to resize it but it doesn't resize the image. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but no luck. It's frustrating because I send a lot of photos by email and it's such a quick and easy tool to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks. |

| 321335 | 2005-02-04 02:25:00 | I have irfanview, love the program it is my image viewer by default and I had been resizing my photos with it. The power toys image resizer is quicker you just right click the photo and resize..you only have 4 options for resizing but it suits me for emailing. But if it's not going to work on my main computer I'll go back to irfanview. Thanks. |

| 321336 | 2005-02-04 02:30:00 | It might be as small as it can get. That might be why it does nothing to the pic. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 321337 | 2005-02-04 03:36:00 | I checked that...but that's not the prob. It works perfectly on my laptop. A mystery to me. | zilla (6627) | ||
| 321338 | 2005-02-04 03:38:00 | yeap, i sometimes get a few pics that cant get any smaller, doesnt matter really. try changing the pic format though.... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 321339 | 2005-02-04 03:46:00 | It's not some it's all of them....none of them will resize. It's almost like a program is blocking it so the changes can't be made. I shut down any of the likely programs but that made no difference. I can resize them in Irfanview so I will stick to that program...at least it's reliable. thanks for your help everyone...appreciate it. |

| 321340 | 2005-02-04 04:50:00 | I haven't got around to reinstalling that app since reformatting but it was rather handy. What I have taken to using now is Windows Explorer's "Send to>Mail recipient' and using the resize option in there. You are given three choices of sizes if you click on Show More Options and it puts your pics straight into a new email. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 321341 | 2005-02-05 03:57:00 | I used to have that option but I don't use Internet Explorer any more I use Mozilla Firefox with Thunderbird. | zilla (6627) | ||
| 321342 | 2005-02-05 05:03:00 | Ummmmmmmm just recalled I had the windows resizing option on my laptop and just checked it out. Yes! it is working on my laptop using the same programs with Mozilla. For some reason I can't use either resizing programs on my desktop...only irfanview. I have just recently had windows reinstalled, complete install..so I'm not sure what the problem is. | zilla (6627) | ||
