Depending on the resolution of your pictures (make copies first). Open them in MSPaint and select Image -> Stretch/Skew. Then input 50% for starters (for both Hor. and Vert.). And save as a jpeg. Images must be below 200k to attach.

If 50% still doesn't work, try 25%. If you have another image editing software look for Image Resize or such.

If you have a real image editing program, I find a resolution of 640x480 the best for attaching images...

Irfanview is an excellent free photo editing software that is online with no expiration date.

Just Google it and download from one of the directed websites. Run the executable file and your set.

Open the picture go to edit and resize make sure you rename the picture to something else so you don't overwrite your original.
