It's not the actual width/hieght that is the problem. It's the file size, you need to bring that down under the file size req. Try changing file format to .gif.

Hello Large Peter
that just seems WRONG!
well anyway, don't bother changing your pic to gif format. Make a copy and open it in microsoft paint and from the image pulldown menu choose stretch/skew. Your image will need to be 100x100 pixels so if your original image is say 2000x2000 you would need to enter equal numbers in the fields to reduce your pic to the correct size (5%). From the file pulldown select save. then do the user c/p thing.

Oh yeah..............
or just go to http://www.gravatar.com/default.php
and they will do it for you. They will also set up a link so you may use it on any message board/blog that allows avatars.
After they resize it just right click and copy then paste it in your photo folder. Then do the user c/p, avatar thing.
