All textures need to be the same size, or atleast have the same proportions(?) you can use a 512x512 spec on a 1024x1024 multiplier but not a 256x512 one.(well you could if you scale a 1024x1024 to 256x512 but i wouldn't go that far lol) Just make all textures the same size and update the specular texture itself. You can temparary link it to the multiplier to check.(edit/browse/choose multiplier)

Did you make it an empty specular? If not this could still be the issue. As stated above, resizing isn't going to fix anything if the specular isn't either empty or made to match the object's mapping.
