Wallpaper causing explorer to crash?

So I use 2x 24" Nec MultiSync monitors and recently I got a new wallpaper I was using on my mac that is approx (23.4MB). Its a large image that is like super hi rez, but on my windows machince when I set was wallpaper or right click set as wallpaper my explorer freezes up and crash then defaults back to the old / previous wallpaper. I can set the wallpaper to practically any other image just not this large one.  Any ideas how to fix this or what the bug might be?

 

 

If this helps..

System Specs:

- AMD A10 7700k BE

- Sapphire r270x (4Gb)

- 16 Gb Corsair vengence ram

- 2 x Kingston 512 SSD

- 4 x Western Digital Blue 1 Tb harddrives

 

Thanks any help is much appreciated.

Use an image editor to scale/crop the picture to the resolution of your monitor, then try

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

You should always scale and sharpen otherwise you'll loose a lot of quality.
