get yourself a simple to use photo editing program (i use faststone FastStone Image Viewer - Powerful and Intuitive Photo Viewer, Editor and Batch Converter )
then you can just select the photo you want, move your mouse to the left of screen and a menu will appear where you can select "quick resize/resample" and choose a different (smaller) photo size, i recommend 1024x768 for a good quality image and your done

"save" it or "save as" a different file name to keep your original ones in tact

Edit: Just to give you an idea of size
This one is 1024 x 768

This one is 800 x 600

You need to resize them with Photoshop etc

I just open it up in paint then hit save as. then save it as a JPG. usually works.

On windows 7 and vista i think when you open the image you can also open it in widows photo manager, there you can edit croo and resise images to different sizes, works great takes about 1 min for all of them
