As being a bit of a pc plank sometimes can anybody create this image to the right dimensions please ?

I've created this at 320 X 240 24bit if you want it 16 or 32 bit instead speak now or forever hold thy piece (not spelling)

Hi Lates

Maybe you should give IrfanView a try, it's not only a viewer but really good stuff (www.irfanview.net).

I thoroughly recommend this - I have used it for years it is very very good.

Changing Lates pic to 320 X 240 was not simply a matter of resizing as that would have altered the aspect ratio and the picture would just have been squashed.
I created a new document at the correct size with a black background then copy and pasted the centre of the original onto the new document.
That could have been done in almost any paint or drawing package. Providing you have the size options for new documents.

Paint Shop Pro is good for this and I believe you can still get a free demo version of the program.
