Now you should have cut the file size in half, but if its still too large, do the the same steps again but cutting it down to 50%. That's it.
now go to FILE > Save As

you can save the image file as JPG and name it whatever you want. remember the location of this file in your computer so when its time to upload, you will be able to find the name and the location of the file you just saved.
If you have photoshop, you can do this much easier. but Paint.exe should be ok to use. Remember, you can only post jpeg, jpg, png ro gif files on this forums.
