Resize an image with GIMP? [Solved]

How do you resize an image with GIMP? My image is 800x600 and I want it to be 800x800 with black on the top and bottom. How do I accomplish this? Every time I set the 600 to 800 it makes the other 800 somewhere around 1000. I am trying to make a loading screen by the way.

800x800 is not an acceptable dimension for a loading screen texture. As with any SWBF2 texture, the dimensions must have power of two values.

Suggestion: Start with a larger image. Using an image that was originally 800x600 won't look very good as a loading screen.

Sorry about the late response, but now I am trying to make a sky, and in gimp it says it is 3440x1721, and when I munge it says:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ERROR[PC_texturemunge world1\sky_yav2.tga]:TextureMunge(sky_yav2:3440x1721x1): Must have power of two dimensions!

ERROR[PC_texturemunge world1\sky_yav2.tga]:TextureMunge(sky_yav2:3440x1721x1): Must have power of two dimensions!

 [continuing]

   2 Errors    0 Warnings

I checked "none" for interpolation in scale image, but after I munge it always changes back to cubic...perhaps this is the problem?

Well, yes, the problem is obviously in the hide tags but what might cause it?

How would I get the file to meet those requirements?

Your dimensions must be made up of those numbers.
