Can someone recommend to me a good program thats cheap/free that will downsize large batches of photos taken with my digital camera? I had my Kodak program on my old computer, but I had to downsize them one at a time. My new computer had the Microsoft student 2007, which would allow me to downsize all of my photos at once, but my 60 day trail ran out and I cannot afford to pay $150 for this program now because I have a huge car repair bill coming up, as well as vacation.
Take a look at Image Resizer, one of the XP Power Toys (assuming you have XP, you didn't say. It's about as simple as they get, no program to run, just select the images you want, right click, select resize, and it will let you select from standard sizes and whether you want to resize the originals or resize to copies.
When you say "downsize" do you mean create thumbnails, but keep the originals intact? If so, there are a number of free tools for doing so. Google "create thumbnails from images."

Downsize? Like when you post a pic on Craigslist and it tells you the pic is too big to post?
If that's the case, Native XP has a tool for you. Simply highlight all your pics, right click and choose send to: Email recipient. XP will prompt you: Make all my pictures smaller. Click Okay. Outlook or Outlook Express will instantiate a new email with your now smaller pics as attachments. Copy the files and paste to folder/desktop.
Yeah, like when I take a photo with my digital camera, it puts it in my camera at approximately 400-600kb and I want them around 60-150kb. Yeah, like for posting photos on Craigslist classfieds and when I put photos on Facebook, email. Its tedious having to downsize bulk photos one by one.
Well, I downloaded that, but now I cant find it on my computer or how to use it. I also kept getting my computer would not support it, but yeah, I have XP... my computer is also only 6 months old.
Here's a real simple one. I picked the first freeware package that looked to meet your needs. Ran a test on 21 photos and generated both .jpg and .bmp thumbnails in about 15-seconds. You can also add a watermark to your thumbnails.
