Hotmail attachment - 'id has bad format'

I am having issues trying to attach files in hotmail using safari. I get an error 'attachment id has bad format'.


The files are fine - I can open, create, save etc. I have uninstalled and re-installed silverlight, and reset safari (twice) with no luck 😟


Any other ideas? Its really frustrating and I need to get this working asap.


Many thanks,


Katrina

I experienced this similar frustrating problem and tried everything (removing programs, deleting Silverlight, etc). Then by default, I had to fix what I thought was a router problem and had to reset Safari (option on Safari, click, Reset Safari) and to my chagrin my hotmail account now uploads attachments, no error message, and life is good.
