OWA and IE7

[Guest]

Hi

I'm hoping that I'm in the right place for a question on OWA.

I just intalled IE7, and immediately I have problem when using OWA. In OWA,
when I opened, read it, and closed it, IE7 crashed with a prompt giving
options to either Send Error or Don't Send to Microsoft. When I clicked
either button, IE7 closes itself. I tried to repeat the problem, and it
happened again and again every time I opened and closed a message in OWA.

Is this a bug ? Or, is it some kind of super security feature that needs to
be tweaked before things work normally ?

I tried again, on another PC, using IE6, and it works fine. Looks like a
bug to me. Just prior to IE7 automatically shutting down, it does send an
error report to Microsoft. At the moment, I am disabled from sending any
e-mail, as outlook is blocked in normal mode from the server I am a guest on.


Really need a resolution.

Thanks,

John

John,

Not trying to be funny, but what is OWA? I'm guessing this is Not the right
place for the question But someone in here might be able to help you and not
recognize the program by its initials.

Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access (but it appears to be more a part of
MS Exchange Srver).

In my instance, my employer allows access to my company email at home
without needing to provide a complete log-in to their intranet. I also
use it at work since 20 people share four computers that are usually
logged in with a group I.D. We can each check our email via OWA without
logging the group I.D. out, logging in, do email, log out, log the group
back in.

The site for IE7 related issues is this one:

http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html

All the way at the end of this page--items 8 and 9 relate to OWA.

Item 9 has some resemblance to what you are seeing, and also has a
downloadable fix: HOWEVER--this is an Exchange fix--i.e. the download needs
to be applied at the server--which I take it is not under your control ?

You might also want to uninstall or disable any third-party toolbars in IE
to see if that changes the behavior.

Item 8 relates to certificate related security issues--I don't think you are
seeing that (yet!)

The download is at this link:

There's also another article related to using OWA and Windows Server
2003-based Exchange:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=924334

Again--this one involves a hotfix which must be applied at the server end.

Looking at these descriptions and thinking this over, I suspect that neither
of these is your issue.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926449

seems to me to be more likely to offer you useful troubleshooting help.

Bill,

Thanks ever so much for taking the time to help out. After reviewing all, I
decided to go back to IE 6.

Cheers,

John

Probably a wise choice at this point. Another site that may have useful
information is www.slipstick.com but I haven't checked there on this
particular issue.
