[FIX] Trouble Adding Hotmail Attachments on Mac?

Problem:
I'm currently running Chrome on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and just had a problem trying to add an email attachment to an email, in Hotmail. The strange thing was, I was able to upload some files (like an m3u, but couldn't upload RTF or Doc files).

Solution:

Note: I had recently installed Silverlight on Chrome. However, as you can see from this page, Chrome is currently not a supported browser on Macs and so this is one probably one of the issues caused by it. 

I managed to fix the problem by disabling the Silverlight plugin in Chrome. To do this, without completely removing Silverlight from Chrome, simply type in "about:plugins" in the address bar (without the quotes). Then look for the Silverlight plugin and click "disable". Restart Chrome and hopefully you should now be able to add attachments.
