Get a 256x256 image with the name, War3MapPreview, import it to your map with Import Editor, then change the file directory to War3MapPreview. If this doesn't work, try Wc3MapPreview, I cant remember which one it is.

Resize it to 256x256, save it as a 32 bits TGA image, import it to your map as War3MapPreview.tga, conversion can be done with wc3 viewer if you have no better image program than paint.
