A new file should appear.<br /> </li><li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/"><strong>VSO Image Rezizer</strong></a> - If for some weird reason the above tool doesn't work then you can try this.<br /> </li><li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm" target="_blank"><strong>Image Resizer for Vista Users</strong></a> - If you are using Vista and want a cool tool, try this.
