I use IE to connect to a couple of different Web Outlook servers to check email. One hits an exchange 2003 server and one hits an exchange 2000 server.

When I connect to either one, I cannot reply to emails or write new ones. The window for the email comes up, but the box where you would type the message is nothing but a small red X. The same thing you get when there's an image on a web page that doesn't download. It only happens when I use IE7 on Vista Beta 2.

Any one else experiance this?

Haven't heard of that one yet. So, it works in IE7 on XP? Just trying to figure out if it's an IE7 problem or a Vista/IE7 problem.

I haven't tried it with IE7 for XP.

Ok, then I'd bet it's an IE7 beta issue, regardless of whether or not its running on Vista. I haven't come across that exact problem with IE7 on XP (because I don't have that kind of situation to test), but I've seen lots of similar issues with IE7 on XP. IE7 has a ways to go before it is bug-free.

This sounds like an applet or active x component hasn't loaded/installed correctly. Have you checked all of the add ons are installed to allow you to use this functionality?
