It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.
Any possibility those messages are from your anti-virus application or security suite? Might be helpful if we know which application or suite you are using?
