Well I guess my first mistake was saving all of my pictures in .jpg format!
The only thing I did right was in the resizing I did click the box that says
"maintain aspect ratio" (except in the sample I mentioned to you!). I'll
check out the sizes and see what I can do with them. How about the ones I'm
going to scan, is there a better way to save other than .jpg?

If you only have one copy of each picture it will not matter - you will have
to use it!
As a general rule .jpg and .gif are normally compressed for web use and most
other formats are not
You example pic you mentioned is taller than it is wide, so you will never
be able to get it 800x600 without stretching it and it looking terrible
If most of your pictures can go 800x600 without getting pixelated then I
would use this size and on your example pic I would 'constrain proportions'
in your software (so if you change either the width or height the other
changes to keep the picture in the correct proportions) and change the
height to 600px - then it will fit in with the rest of the pictures height
wise during the slide show but just not be as wide.
I think that's the best work around.
If you have a lot of pictures that are off the standard 4:3 ratio post back
and I'll talk you through a slightly different way to do it

Hi Chris, I appreciate your response. How do I know if pictures are
compressed or uncompressed? For example, I have one that shows (in
Irfanview) as width 317, height 353 (pixels). This is in the "resize"
screen. On the right-hand half it shows "some standard dimensions" where I
can go up to 800 x 600 before it gets all pixelly (at 1024). So is that how
I can determine my best size, just by trying how big they can go before they
get too pixelly? ~Glo

To get you started on your quest!
I don't think the size of the pictures (kb) matters at all in relation to
the projector, but if you have uncompressed pictures they will be better
quality than compressed ones - so use the biggest ones you have.
What will matter is the size (pixels) of the picture.
A standard projector will be 4:3 (height 3/4 of width)
So try to crop all your pictures to match - 800x600 or 1024x768.
