hey thats a really cool program but how do you get it to reduce the polys? cause it looks like it only make a low poly look like a high poly but what i need it to do is actually decrease the amount of polys in the high poly model

You might wanna try gameSpace light, it's a free 3d package (with a poly reducer) however
there are a few limits, you can't save a model more then 650 poly
or 5000 poly scene and a few more I can't remember.
You can get more information here.

60K in milkshape ouch...

Probably would just be easier to build a new model than trying to reduce a 59K down to something manageable in DB

Yes build the new model and then use that nvidia program to make the normal map
