Fisrt thing is to thanks brion vibber for his earlier help.
Second,
Is there a limit on the size of pics one can use in the wiki? or more specificaly for the resizing of pics?
I get the following problem. With a large pic if I use [[picture:blablabla.jpg]] it works but if then I use [[picture:blablabla.jpg|thumb|350px|right]] then I get a Internal Server Error. This do not seem to happen with smaller pics. Any thoughts?

First, I'm assuming that the pic uploaded ok. There is a limit set by the upload_max_filesize setting in /etc/php.ini (on POSIX systems, not sure where it is on windoze). This is separate from the soft limit of 100K which causes mediawiki to issue a warning to the uploader.
When I've tried to upload an image bigger than the max, IIRC I usually get an error at the time of upload, something like the file is empty.
Failing that, it likely depends on how you are doing image sizing. I'm using ImageMagick and I haven't had problems thumbnailing pretty large images, although I haven't specified the size, in other words I've used [[Image:blablabla.jpg|thumb|caption]] but not [[Image:blablabla.jpg|thumb|340px|caption]]
Thanks for the response, I suspect it could be my service provider PHP limits but not sure, I've been able to thumb pics below certain dimensions independent of the file size. Does that sound like I'm right? Will Installation of ImageMagick (with ghstscript) solve the problem? If so... How does one install it in a server provider? I dont have console access like in a normal Linux.

Not as such, no.

Check the web server's error log for messages.
