"Dots per inch (DPI) is a measure of printing resolution..."  ;)

You can make any image smaller, but you have work ahead of you to make it bigger.  Either you fix it all pixel by pixel, or you vectorize it and then let it redraw itself.  Sometimes you can scan it at a high DPI, but I've seen mixed results doing it like that.  If you can use Paint Shop or Photoshop "normally", vectoring an image isn't out of your grasp.  It's just adjustable shapes rather then pixels.  When you blow up a vector image, it just recalculates itself and automagically gets rid of the jagged edges.

Actually it doesn't get rid of the jagged edges because once you vectorize something there are no jagged edges.  Think of it as going from a dot by dot description of the image (bitmap) to a mathematical geometric description of the image (vector).
