When sending an email or when replying to an email I hit the attach file
button and it flashes but will not go to a brouse mode to allow me to attach
a file. I can drag a file from a folder and drop it into the email and it
will attach the file. I am using vista home version and office 2007

It may be some installation problem with Outlook. Try the following:

Method 1: Run Office Diagnostics from a 2007 Office program
Start the Office Diagnostics tool. To do this, use either of the following
methods:
For a menu-based 2007 Office program, click Office Diagnostics on the Help
menu.
For a ribbon-based 2007 Office program, follow these steps:
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Program Options.

Note In this option, Program represents the name of the program.
In the Navigation Pane, click Resources.
Click Diagnose.
Click Continue.
Click Start Diagnostics.

If the Office Diagnostics tool identifies a problem, it tries to fix the
problem.
When the Office Diagnostics tool finishes, click Close.
Method 2: Run the Detect and Repair tool from Add or Remove Programs
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
Click Microsoft Office Edition 2007, and then click Change.

Note In this option, Edition represents the Microsoft Office edition that is
installed on the computer.
Click Repair, and then click Continue.
