Posted November 24, 2009 Hey dudes. For some reason I can't attach files to my gmail account it claims it may be caused by firewall or proxy but windows firewall is on normal (unchanged since it did work) and I don't use a proxy ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2009 What OS/browser/extensions are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2009 Win XP,Firefox. Few adblocks etc. Nothing huge nothing's changed on my pc lately that I can think could alter how gmail works. It's really weird. I had a virus for a couple of hours but I got rid of that straight away. oh and also: my university email uses gmail as a base and that works fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2009 Does it do it on other browsers? Ie... err... IE? That virus sounds a bit shifty, what did you use to get rid of it? What's the exact message you're getting when you try to attach, and where is it originating from (google or your computer?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2009 A system restore doesn't really do much though, you lose some customisation settings etc but you don't lose any files. It might not be a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just pick one day BEFORE the incident happened. I don't think there would have been some DRASTIC system changes done that day. Besides, it's only as a last resort.
