Webmail

Hi I am now fortunate enough to be able to work from home. I am able to
access my work emails at home via Microsoft Outlook Web Access, however, I am
unable to create, reply or forward emails from my work email address. The
strange thing is, that when I had my old PC (that had windows XP on it) I
could create new, reply and forward emails fine. However, I bought a new
laptop that came with Windows Vista, and now I am unable to reply to any
emails that I receive. I can open the reply window pane, and the new email
pan, however I cannot type anything in the writing pane (does that make
sense?). I have had the tech support people at my workplace have a look at my
computer, but they cannot work out why it wont work. it is fine on the
internal server, from inside my work, but not at home. I think this is a
Vista issue and I am hoping someone can shed some light on how I am able to
resolve this issue, any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long
email!

Hi,

Well there could be a whole bunch of reasons why. I've seen this a couple of
times.

Firstly, please ensure that your https site is in your trusted sites.

Are you using a firewall at work that is blocking activex's or is everything
exactly the same as when you had the XP machine connecting to OWA?

Hope this helps, I'm sure others can give you more technical answers

Hi,

Your Exchange server needs a patch. Your system administrator will need
this:

Hi Jane

thanks for the tip, but when I tried to run the program is said something
about not being able to "extract elevation" then it tried to make it
compatible but when i ran the program again, the same error message came up.
Then I tried to run it again, and it said that there wasnt enough storage.
Surely it cant be that big?
