Can't use web mail with certain WinXP PCs

[GregF]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

There's a certain windows XP machine that when I try to access my
webmail (ms exchange from my work place), when I try to make or reply
to a message, the body area is filled with what looks like a broken
image, and I can't type in it no matter what I try. I have access to
other PCs that should have the exact same set up, and they work just
fine with my mail. What could be different about this PC, what should I
look for to fix this? I don't understand this at all, and I can't find
anything about it on the MS website.

Hi,

Sounds like you need to reinstall the scripting engine:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0A8A18F6-249C-4A72-BFCF-FC6AF26DC390&displaylang=en
and get version 5.6 and install it.

It says that it's only for Win 98, ME, and NT, but I'm using XP.

Also, why does this not come installed with XP if it's needed? Why do
my other XP machines work fine with webmail already? Windows XP Pro is
Windows XP pro, isn't it?

Hi,

As Frank has stated, it may be damaged in the current installation.
Downloading 5.6 and reinstalling it should resolve the issue.

Well that didn't work. But I did find the problem...I was using IE
instead of other non-MS browsers. Go figure, MS can't get it's exchange
webmail to work right with IE, but other browsers work just fine. I'll
just learn to use products that work.
