OWA, IE8, and Win 7

[RJB]

I've successfully used Outlook Web Access for quite a while.



Recently bought a machine running Windows 7, thus, IE 8.



When I try to reply to a message or start a new message, there is no text

box where I can type... Just greyed out with a red "X" in the upper left

corner.



The OWA site IS in my Trusted Sites.



Pop-Up Blocker is OFF.



I HAVE updated OWA's "S/MIME Control". Once I did that, I gained the ability

to type a message in the box – but when I hit “Sendâ€Â, it creates a fatal

error in Internet Explorer either during or just after running the spellcheck

(I don’t know if the spellcheck is complete when we get the error).



What gives? I suspect it's an issue of 32 and 64 bit nonsense, but don't know.



Help!



Thanks

Is it a Win7 64-bit computer?

Isn't all Win 7 64-bit?



(I'm 99% certain the machine is 64-bit)

No.
