While trying to insert a file in an e-mail in Microsoft Outlook 2003, the program seems to "hang up" and quits responding. The default directory (in my case word documents) pops up but it will not let you look in other directories (such as in my excel folders, pictures, etc). I can go to the document I want to attach first and use the send to and it will open up my e-mail editor with the attachment included.
I use to be able to click on the drop down arrows to search anywhere on my drive to attach a file. I've tried to use the repair feature on Microsoft Outlook help icon but it still hasn't changed anything.
