  6. If you are attempting to attach a file to an email message and receive an error message that states either "there was a problem uploading your documents" or "your system made a request that the browser could not understand," it is most likely the file you're trying to attach is open and you will need to save then close this file before it will attach. If your browser is hanging or the file does not appear to be attaching after a number of minutes, one or all of the follwing may be the cause: * Slow connection speeds or browser issues - In this case, we recommend that you try using a different browser (if you are using IE, try switching to Netscape, or vice versa), and try uploading your files at less busy times of the day. The Netscape browser can be found at: http://home.netscape.com/download/ The Internet Explorer browser can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/ * File size -- Larger files may take longer to upload. If you have the need to send messages larger than 10MB in size, check out Yahoo! Mail Plus. * File is currently open -- If the file you are attempting to upload is open on your system, you may experience trouble. We recommend closing the file and then going through the upload process again. * Other programs running -- If you have a bunch of other programs currently running, your available memory may be compensated and slow the upload process down. We recommend closing any programs not in use and going through the upload process again.
