Unable to Attach MW Word Docs

Running Win 7 on an HP G72 laptop with IE 9



About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed that I was not able to attach any MS Word docs from within a website. For example, when applying for a job it asks to attach your resume. I find the file, hit submit button but the file does not attach.



I am saving the Word doc as both a MW Word and a MS Word 1997-2003 file, neither of which seem to be able to be attached

Any ideas what the issue could be?
