A quick question.

My camera creates rather large jpg files (5 million pixels). For the
purposes of uploading to a web page how can I reduce the size of the
file(s)? I have 'Paint' and 'Imaging' with my windows XP software.

The fastest way to reduce images size on Windows XP is a Windows XP
powertoy, called 'image resizer'. Along with other powertoyes, it can be
downloaded for free here

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp

After installation has completed, simply right click on the image you wish
to resize and you'll see that a 'resize image' option will have been added
up on the menu. You can choose between various analyses, while the new file
will be saved in the same folder as the original picture.

All the best,
