The best no-nonsense capture program is GRAB CLIP SAVE
http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Windows/softking/soft/en/g/gcs.exe
it grabs, converts, resizes and saves it where you want all automatically!
to resize manually & fast, you can use the free powertoy for XP (if you have
XP)
that lets you right click on an image and it shrinks it fast....
