resize a JPEG to fit on XP desktop

[rossb]

I have a JPEG that I wish to use on an XP desktop. The JPEG is
currently too wide.

Screen resolution is set to 1024*768. I have tried the 3 desktop
wallpaper settings as follows:

Tile or Image: image way too big for the screen
Stretch: The edges are cut off.

My PC has the standard MS Office 2003 suite. Are there any utilities I
can use to shrink the picture down to an appropriate size

Regards

Ross

Try Powerpoint's tools. You may be able to crop the image to fit the screen.
