resize pictures in Vista Anonymous -- 30/08/07

his "tip" is quite basic, however, he does not address how to do mulitiple pictures. XP had a tool for resizing pictures - I was hoping this would address that.

It doesnt work when you dont use outlook though. I use windows live and log in to email, email says files attached but they arent.

Pathetic Luke Skywalker -- 16/05/08

I'm so tired of MS, once they finally get some good, useful features on their OS, it takes their new version to wipe them out.
As another reader said, I could resize a group of pics directly from windows explorer in XP, vista can't. Is that a new feature???
I'm so sorry I actually paid for Vista, besides using all my memory, being useles on a 64 bit processor, it does NOTHING better than XP, now that's pathetic. Oh yeah, the eye candy that was so talked about in vista? It's off, and I wished, oh how I wished MS just tired to make an efficinet, realiable OS, for those of us who actually use a computer for work, and are tired of looking at an hourglass everytime you ask your system to do some real work.
PS: Thax for the video genious, what audience was it geared for? Some retarded monkeys??? If anybody seating in front of a PC cannot figure out how to do that, well, I suggest they upgrade they coffee mug holder to a DVD drive, and upgrade their foot pedal to a laser model, OH! and don't forget to wipe all that white out from you monitor before you turn off your word processing program...

Peace.
