Well to start with, it must be a bitmap...that's huge for a pic, period. Open it in MS Paint, and then just select "save as", and choose jpeg for the file type, and whatever name you want, you can keep it the same since they're actually two different files at this point. This will probably help you enough, but, the actual size, in layout, is still by far way to big for use as an avatar. Use the prog I recommended if you want..
