OWA - Red x instead of body of message using IE

[Brian H]

I have serached these newsgroups and found a couple of people with this
issue, however I have not found a solution. I am using IE for Outlook web
access (Outlook 2003), however I can not use it to create or reply to emails.
I can read emails, but when I try to create a new message, the body of the
message just comes up with a red 'x' like a picture not loading from a web
page.

I saw one post that said to register a couple of files in the triedit
directory, and I only have one file (triedit.dll) and not the dhtmled.ocx
file. I also allowed pop ups for my webmail page as well. I can use Firefox
and the new mail messages come up fine, however you don't get the same GUI as
using IE.

I am using IE ver 6 SP2 on XP SP2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

I followed your instructions to register both these and it worked like
a charm. You also mentioned that you did not have the dhtmled.ocx file.
I would be more than happy to send you this file if needed.

Thx,

Joe

Thats for the offer, but I did get a copy of the file from a co-worker. I
then proceeded to register the file using regsvr32, but still no luck. I
looked in IE under Manage Add-ons, but I still did not see the ActiveX
control.

Is there something else I must do to get the dhtml.ocx recognized by IE?

Thanks,
Brian

Just to update this thread, I tried re-registering the 2 files again, and now
it works. No idea why this time it took, but not last time, but bottom line
is that I can now use IE for OWA... which is what my goal was.

So for those thast might have the problem I went into DOS prompt and cd
"c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Triedit". Then at the prompt:

regsvr32 dhtmled.ocx
regsvr32 triedit.dll

Thanks,
Brian
