youhave to have it 60x60 pixels...find a picture and copy it into you editing program...and try and shrink it down to 60x60 pixels...or just find one on the internet that is already 60x60 pixels...right click the pic and go to properties to see the size...than save it to your desktop and go to the avatar page in you CP and browse you computer to find it...IT WONT WORK IF ITS LARGER THAN 60x60

well
my guess is your images are too big what you need to do is hit that button that says browse, find the pic you want to use, right click and select send to or open with I can't remember which, and open the picture with the microsoft picture program.
on the toolbar there is a dropdown menu to resize it I think it needs to be 800x800
someone else will know an easier way but that should work

You could use a program such as paintshop to resize the picture, save it, then apply it as your pic for the avatar.
