I'd suggest that if you're new to AGS you should go to the Palettes tab and change the game to High-Colour.  I've never used 256-colour, mainly due to the limitations of it.  I'd assume that makes the program reject anything other than 256-colour images, thus causing your problem.  Import a background that is the same size as your game resolution for now (i.e. 640x480 if you chose that as the resolution).  If you are using MSPaint this will be shown in the Image > Attributes menu.  I get the problem about the background size being too big all of the time, and it causes me no problems.
