It should be pointed out that this site is for Windows VISTA versions.

My new Windows 7 Paint doesn't look anything like this and the learning curve is gonna drive me nuts; I use Paint all the time!

If you open the image from your PC in Paint, you can click on 'image' above the picture. There you can change the size in the new window.

To enlarge in Paint: select Image in the toolbar, then "Stretch/Skew", then change the "100's" in the width and length to "125" or however big you want it to be.
