You said the pictures were in e-mails. How did you save them? You need to
Right Click | Save Picture As and save it to a folder on your HDD. Then you
work with Pix Resizer or IrfanView. If you just save the attachment, the
programs will not recognize them.

I have tried both blue five and irfanview and neither seems to work. Blue
tells me it is unable to open that type. it is .eml and irfanview won't
even
acknowledge the file. Any other suggestions

It is up to the sender to resize a picture before sending it. Since you
have
already received them, save each to a user created Windows folder, (such
as
in My Documents), and then you can open them with Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer. OTOH, you can also save them and resize them yourself.

Pix Resizer (freeware):

If you constantly get pictures from the same person that are too large,
maybe you could forward the link to them as a subtle hint.

Some of the emails I get have pictures that are much to large for me to
veiw.They are sometimes added attachments and sometimes included in the
email. Is there a way to shrink these photos so I can veiw them and
print
them?
