Size the width to 578 pixels and it should be fine.

If you don't have picture editor use paint and stretch and screw.

What type of file are your pictures? JPEG is a pretty small picture file size. Open up your pictures in paint, then save them as jpegs to reduce the size

You could also try this (its what I do)

1) Open up your pictures in paint
2) Click CTRL-W
3) Under the "Stretch" heading, set each of the two percents to a lower number to reduce the size of your picture
