Re-sizing problem in PSP X

Hi there!

I use PSP X. I recently had to change laptops so I re-installed my programme on the new laptop. Except, I seem to be having a few problems and they are mainly to do with re-sizing. I know that there are certain specifications that need to be followed during re-sizing so I searched for them and put them in. However, they dont seem to stay. How can I fix this and get it to remain?




One more problem. Again to do with re-sizing. When I re-size my picture into an 100x100 square, the picture comes out all pixelly. I understand that you shouldn't do it in one go so I do my mine in gradual steps. But even then the problem persists.

Example:

My picture at 200x200                       My grainy icon. :'(

I would really appreciate all the help I can get.

Thank you! :)
