Outlook shuts down when I try to attach

M

Missy

Every time I try to attach something to an email, Outlook encounters a
problem and needs to shut down. What is causing this and what can I do to
fix it?

I have done "Detect and Repair" to no avail.

Thanks,

We have no idea since you decided to keep secret what version of Outlook you are using and what type of file you are trying to attach, as well as whether this ever worked, when it stopped working, and what you did to break it.

Wow.....I didn't expect a response like that.

I am using Outlook 2003.

I never get to choose a file to attach, when I click the attach button, it
encounters the problem.

It has always worked prior to this past week.

I did NOTHING to break it.

If you choose not to help, that's fine. Did I really deserve a response
such as you sent?

What did you install/uninstall this last week?

As for my response, well, if you see as many requests for help with absolutely nothing included to at least attempt to start troubleshooting, you would respond with a similar post. How do you expect to get help when you describe nothing?

I haven't installed/uninstalled anything as of late. I have had an issue
with Outlook before taking a long time to "Synchronize" its folders but this
just started happening in the last couple of days.

I ran my virus software and Adware and both found nothing. The last day I
was able to attach anything was on November 30, and have attached nothing
since.
