False reading on my animated gif size

With Halloween approaching, I decided to select an avatar to use on Mylot for the occasion. Of course since Mylot will only display animation in a discussion that is within 60 pixels each way, it involved resizing one to suit.
After choosing which one to use I resized it using Adobe Fireworks and exported it to my desktop. The intention was to upload to Mylot as a test to ensure that it worked. When I moved my curser to the file I noticed that it read as 1 pixel by 1 pixel, which was obviously wrong. I opened the properties dialogue to check properly and it still reads that the image is 1 pixel square.
I have tested this in Internet Explorer and Mylot, in both cases it displays as the size that I required. I then resized a few more for curiosity, with the same result each time.
I cannot understand how the properties can read as such when the file is obviously a different size.

It displayed as it should in Internet Explorer and I even uploaded it to Mylot temporarily as a test. I then had to resize my signature because the gif that I use is a little larger and intended as an email signature, so the quill that you see as my avatar now is also reading as 1 pixel by 1 pixel on my system.
All other gifs that I have read correctly in the properties, so it is not Windows failing to read them accurately but the actual data stored in the properties.
