check the file size, there's file size limitations when you're uploading pics. If you go past the limit you'll get that error. You may have to scale them down if that's the problem.

Ummm, well it depends what program you'll use to do it. You can use paint, but it's really limited. Open up the pic and then re-save it by going to "File" then "save as". make sure that JPG is selected and rename it so you don't overwrite the original, unless you want to. The saved pic will be a smaller size even though nothing was changed. If that doesn't work or it's still too big, use the "Stretch/skew" option under the "image" menu and in the area where it says "Stretch" enter in a value less than 100%, say 75 for each one so that the picture stays proportional. Then save it using "Save as" making sure jpeg is selected.
If you're using Photoshop... well if you use photoshop you should probably already know how to do it.
I don't know how to do it on any other programs because I usually only use photoshop.
