Outlook Web Access/IE7 problem
I'm having some problems with Outlook Web Access in IE7. Basically, IE works fine for browsing etc and I can read my webmail and download attachments no problem. The only problem I have is that when I try to send an e-mail, I get the window saying "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. etc."
I can send e-mails fine using FF3 but Outlook Web Access works better in IE so I'd like to get it working again. I contacted our IT department but all they could suggest was that the IE install had become corrupt and to uninstall IE7 and re-install it. I've done this but it hasn't helped. I've run a virus scan and spyware/adware scan and ran crap cleaner between uninstalling and installing. None of it had any effect. I've even gone to the extent of replacing all of the IE7 files on this laptop with the IE7 files from my personal laptop which works fine but with no success. Unfortunately, I'm on the rig in Egypt and can't get the laptop in to the office for them to look at. Anybody have any suggestions as to what the problem could be and how it can be fixed?

Almost sounds like some sort of proxy in the middle is meddling things. Do you get the problem both on the rig and at home?

It's only on the work laptop on the rig - my personal laptop works fine using the same connection.
The work laptop was working fine until about a week ago and then it suddenly started playing silly buggers.

Is it an internal proxy involved? Check IE's connection settings, they'll tell you.

No proxy according to connection settings in internet options.

.... dodgy then
Is the Web Access page a trusted site or just Intranet? Make it a trusted site if it isnt

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

There could be a clogged cable somewhere, talk to your manager and try turning the whole rig off and on again.
