[texhax] Problem getting .png to display properly using pdftex in MikTex

Hi!
I have been using \includegraphics[width=1\columnwidth]{InfoMonthlyheader1} and this (and all graphics) have been imported as .eps. Now, with some great advice to get me started, from this group, I have tried using pdftex from MikTex on a Win32 system. I cut a raft of code out of my document and have a very skeletal version below so experts can see what I'm up to and perhaps spot really dumb things I'm doing. My problem is that when I do includegraphics[width=.8\columnwidth]{flowsNew1.png}, I end up with a very, very, very large graphic in my document. I even edited it down to be a tiny image, but it still ends up so huge that only a portion can fit on the page. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I must do to get .png files to display properly?
I can continue to use .eps files if I cannot use .png.
Thanks so much!
