Boxhead,
If you are trying to scan into the gallery, I think the MAX, size is 300K but with a dial up connection like I have you will very seldon ever get it in under the 60 second limit.
You can use your photo program if you have one to downsize the picture. I don't know what you have but in PSP 8 I have several ways to do it. also if you are using a digital camera, most camera or scanner software now has a reasonably good way to touch up, and downsize pictures. I was going to go to a DSL connection but with the latest disaster here I am going to be stuck with the dial up for a lng time I fear. Ron (CW) is the best to talk to about your picture but if I can be any help at all you can either e-mail me or leave a message. But Ron (CW) has forgotten more abut everything than I could learn in a century. I did scan a picture of 90K into my gallery some time back to test and then when I tried to click on it to make it expand to the next size nothing happened. I don't know if this was something I did wrong or not as I am going to have to ask Ron also that.
Hope this will help get you started in the right direction.
Ron
