Hi all,
Hope I'm in the right forum....
Problem is this:
I have Vista and Office 2007 loaded on my home office PC. One of my clients has granted me access to their OWA, on which they use Windows 2003 Exchange Server. I was always able to reply to emails and forward emails with comments before I started using Vista. Now on my desktop when I click Reply, I see the email OK. But where I should be able to enter a response by typing it in, it acts like there's a picture there by showing a small little red "x". I am unable to enter any text.
My laptop which runs Windows XP and Office 2003 can reply and forward with comments with no problem, which is why I think it's an aspect of Vista creating the issue.
Any help would be s-o-o-o appreciated!
TIA,


Best,

This is a known problem at Microsoft support and they have a specific download for you to run that uninstalls ie7 beta fully. the file is IE7beta2-WindowsXP-enu-UNINSTALL.

Once done and the usual restarts, go back and download IE7, restart and access your OWA sites and you will find you are able to write and reply normally like you did when you had IE6.
 
There are several patches that need to be applied to the Exchange server for use with IE7 (Vista or XP) when using OWA. Make sure that they have been applied.
 
Thank you so much for your responses. I will follow all suggestions!!
Happy Holidays!!

Best,
