I encountered a very weird problem using outlook. The problem happens when i create a new email. I cannot attach files like word or excel. Instead of attaching itself, it opens to its desired app.

When im attaching a file i usually drag it to the subject field. But instead of attaching, the file opens in word or excel.

The funny thing is, i can attach files when i hit reply/reply all and i can drag the files on the body or the message.


Other details:

Using Windows XP Pro SP2 on a 2003 domain.
Email is in Exchange Mode
Cannot attach on new mails but can attach when you reply


Im really stumped on this please help me.
