Help resizing windows 7

RLW · 12-28-2010, 08:33 AM

I used the power toys for resizing with my XP and it worked fantastic. My question is, has anyone found a product similar to it that works as good.
Your help will be greatly appreciated as I miss the hell out of it when it isn't there to use.

Thanks kindly for you input. Have you or anyone else used their product. Being an Ole Geezer I really hate putting things into the system without a little reassurance.

You have to try it, to find out if you'll like it.

I just upgraded from Version 3 to Version 4 this morning. If you don't like it just Un-Install it from "Control Panel/Programs and Features". Just make sure you select the FREE version. NB

I have reviewed yours and the one before you and I can't see where it is compatible with Windows 7. Do you know if it is???

RLW: if you follow the link for VSO, there are some tabs in the middle of the page, and one of them says "system requirements". Click on that tab and it will tell you that it is Win 7 compatible, along with some other versions of Windows.

I did not see anything on the other software, but its last update is well after the win7 release date. You could try to contact them, or maybe Steve A is running Win7 and will let you know.

Good luck.

Thanks Dave. I must have forgotten to put my glasses on.

But I've sent it two several folks that use Win 7 and they report no problems.

Here is a link to the outfit that developed faststone resizer and a number of other excellent free photo/imaging software.

See the image "snip" it's good to go with Windows 7
