Outlook Web Access Broken - No Pop-Ups

[Joseph Geretz]

Recently, I can't use OWA from one computer. I can get to my mailbox and see
all my messages, but I can't do anything which would involve opening a new
window (e.g. open message, reply to message, create new message). This is
extremely annoying. I know OWA is fundamentally sound on the server, and I
can do everything if I sign in using 'Basic' client, since in this case all
actions are performed in the main browser window. But I'd really like to get
this working properly again. Here's what I've done:

The Web site is in my Trusted Zone.
I've disabled Google pop-up blocking
I've disabled IE pop-up blocking. (In fact I get an icon which says 'Pop-ups
were not blocked'.
I've disabled windows firewall
I've disabled my ad-blocker

Windows XP Professional
IE 6

What could the problem be?

Thanks for your help.

OWA is Internet Explorer not Outlook Express. This problem with the popup
blocker seems to be all over the newsgroup with out a solution.

For example, popup blocker is turned off but it still blocks the reply
"popup" window in OWA.
