I suspect the reason you are getting artifacting when resizing it, is because the image is actually showing the wrong dpi.
I can almost guarantee that the image in question is actually the right size, just the header has somehow got messed up, and dpi reduced from 300 to 96, and, this has therefore scaled the dimensions up. To get it back to the right size, you need to reduce the size, and increase the dpi at the same time. This should retain all the information within the image, without actually physically changing it. Just reducing the dimensions, it will remain at 96dpi, and will be terrible quality scaling.

Sheep2001,
Thank you very much for pointing this out !!! Jeremy1976, I was able to look up segagamer's posts and found a free copy of Photoshop. I went in and compressed the image down but this time was able to keep the 300dpi image intact thanks to Photoshops capabilities. I tried doing this with Gimp but I couldn't figure out how to adjust the image size and the dpi separately. I now have a good USA cover art for Snake Rattle N Roll !!! Thanks again guys for your help, I really appreciate it !!!
