I hope for you that you didn't put a lot of fancy stuff in your CV, If the file is that big then you should reduce the size. Your CV might loose some of its quality to impress but it will be uploaded.

The easiest way is to change the format of any embedded images: try to save the image in a format that provides good resolution without going over 100KB, Photoshop is a good option but You can still use MS Paint, (it comes with all versions of windows I think). For the text try using standard size fonts and no colors and other fancy borders. Maybe you put tables in the CV, they also increase the size try reducing their number.

A normal CV should be able to upload after that and its visual quality would not have been reduced that much. In case it doesn't work the radical solution would be to transform your CV into Rich Text Format (save file as *.rtf) and remove the pictures, you can be certain it will upload after that.How do you change a file size?

If it is just a CV in MS Word or a PDF, then it should only be 1-10Kb or so. If it is much larger, then it is probably due to an image in it. You will then need to reduce the resolution of the image in an imaging program like Photoshop etc.
