Ok i am a computer numpty but why when i try to  attach an attachment to an email using yahoo it sendsthe flipping advert showing on the right hand side of  the screen , even though i have done eveything right , i have no problem doing it via outlook express, any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

When you are on the screen to compose an email, there should be a little grey box underneath the subject box which says attach files(this also has a paperclip sign on it).
Click on it, you will then see a page which has 5 boxes with browse by each one.
Click on browse & go to the file in which you have the item you want to attach.
This may mean clicking on open a few times to get to the item you want to attach.
Once the right item is selected it should show up on the compose page as the file name.
Hope this makes sense??

thats exactly what i am doing but the file name doesnt show in the box even after i have selected it , but it does work on outlook express .think i have pixes again
thaks for the advice
