The one I've been using for many years is iPhoto Plus4. It will work on 95, 98, 98SE, 2000 and XP. This program came with the Mustek 600CP scanner. The disk is a colorful disk in red and gold with two fishes on it.
It was so good that Apple computer bought iPhoto and made it for the Mac. But if you find the Mustek 600CP scanner on eBay, the disk will work with Windows.
The Mustek 600CP was sold by Wall Mart in 1997-98. The program is jazzy and easy to use and fast. Your last step is to put a period on the Jpeg at size 1(you can't see it) and save. They don't tell you that.
Well worth the small investment if you can find the scanner and disk. Just a few years ago the average price was about 10-20 with shipping. Not a bad scanner either, uses a CCD scanner lamp. Excellent resolution but a bit slow by today's speeds of scanners.
You can also save documents in Hayes JT FAX format 15kb for a standard scanned page.
I use Adobe CS4 myself but there is a version of Paint.NET that looks like Adobe and is really scaled down. This makes it a lot easier to use. I also do video tutorials and I did 5 of them to show how to crop, resize, clear image, save for web and so-on.
If you are real serious about getting into photography then save some money and get Adobe Photoshop. What you can do in that program is needless.

Hard to beat Kodak Easyshare. Free download. Easy basic edit functions. Very simple to find files for editing. Has basic e-mail, print at home,view as slideshow, or burn cd function. Can upload photos to Easyshare Gallery for friends to view. And you can order prints on Kodak paper for 15 cents. Major retailer charges 26 cents for Kodak printing. I've found cheaper rates for printing photos, but haven't found anyone that does as good a job as Kodak.
I use picture it. I also bought a long time ago Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0. It's a great tool for editing and cropping. What I noticed about the cropping part is that no matter how you crop the image doesn't look blurry. On the other hand I have cropped pictures with the picture it and the images have been very blurry. So I do all other fixings on picture it, but when it comes down to cropping I use adobe photoshop album 2.0. Have a great day.
I am bit fussy about Photo Editing. I Find CorelDraw have some good features for this, but there is a big learning curve. Adobe Photoshop is also an excellent program for the same, but it also has a big learning curve. For simpler programs to use, I find most of the cheaper or free stuff to be lacking quality and fine tuning, so I won't bother with most. I find the Editor Portion of ACDSee Pro, my organizer, to be useful. It offers quick, easy and adjustable functions and can batch modify many images at once, making it quick and easy to get fair results on a group of images quickly. A Trial version can be downloaded from the acdsee web site
Try a free download called photoscape. Go to CNET.com and search for it you might like it. I agree Ifranview and picassa are terrific free programs as well.
Must use Buy It Now and PayPal.
