does anyone have a download of any photo compressing software? i've tried downloading 3 after using google's search but they are all free trials and can only do a couple of compresses before it says i need to pay 
i don't even have ms paint as it got deleted by accident and a reload will wipe all my files off my pc

Thats the microsoft one for XP
Install it, then you can right click on a photo and select the size you want it resized to

cheers mate, been searching for a couple hours trying to sort it out 
edit: it only comes up as a readme file? cant get onto the actual
software 
edit2: found it, thought it would be something on the start menu, but it's simply on the right click of an image

Its not a program that you open.
After its installed you should just beable to right click on a photo thumbnail in windows, and there should be an option to resize

I normally just open them in paint, and just re-save it
Seems to compress big files like that into 300kb at most
... You don't have paint, if you've got the windows CD it's easy to re-install, and you can probably get it for free from somewhere anyway?

The ImageResizerPowertoy program saves a copy of the image, so doesn't overright the existing image. The copy is the one that has been resized and is usually under 100kb
