unable to add multiple attachments as a file to an email in outlook

07. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

I can only add one file at a time as an attachment  to an email in outlook whereas i used to be able to add multiple files in one go.  this is something that has just started to happen in the last couple of days.

dont know what to do to fix it.

problem is on 2 different email accounts (including this one) on pc using windows vista home basic

tried to upload multiple files on same email accounts on different pc using windows 7 home premium and it worked

looks as if some changes/updates done in last couple of days that do not work in vista .  this may well be related to the problem i asked about yesterday  (slideshow not working)

Outlook attachments in ZIP only?

It appears that I can only download multiple attachments in a zip file? Is there a way to download multiple attachments as multiple files? It seems ridiculous to have to take this extra step when all other email services I've used can download in multiple files.

Also, there is a hotmail prompt at the bottom of my email page telling me to add contacts. It blocks the skip page, forward page, back page buttons and there is no way to cancel the prompt...

Thanks-
Patrick

I cannot insert an attachment into my email.

When following the Microsoft instructions

To attach a file to an email

  1. To start composing an email, click New.

  2. Click Insert, and then click Files as attachments¸ Pictures inline, or Share from SkyDrive.

  3. Browse your PC or SkyDrive and select a file. For multiple files, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting them.

  4. Click Open.

I loose my connection to the internet as the system is trying to upload the attachment.

I have IE10, Windows 7. I have uninstalled Silverlight. Reinstalled Silverlight. Deleted cookies, and made all the changes I have seen listed on this forum. Nothing has worked and I simply must be able to attach to my emails. I work from home and this is imperative. I have noticed that the latest dates on these forums is in July. Has anything new transpired since then?
