OWA (Outlook Web Access) "Red X" Error
 
Problem

Usually seen on IE7 and IE8, when you try and reply to an email you see a red X in the body of the Email window.

 

Solution

Option 1: The simplest fix (Exchange 2000/2003 only - Including SBS2003).

1. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=911829 and install that hot fix on the server.

Note: This also fixes the error where OWA simply says "Loading".

Option 2 : Whilst In OWA

1. Click Options > Scroll Down to EMail Security > Download > Run > Restart the browser.

OR


Options 3 - Check permissions (Exchange 2003 Only)

1. On the Exchange server open Windows Explorer.

2. Navigate to c:\program files\Exchsrvr\exchweb

3. Locate the "img" folder > Right click > Properties > Untick hidden > Apply > OK.

Option 4 - Re-register some files (Exchange 2003 Only)

1. Click Start > Run > cmd {enter}

2. Enter the following commands.

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Triedit\triedit.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Triedit\dhtmled.ocx"

3. If the above errors, then copy these two files from a known working machine. You can also try copying them from a known working machine, even if you do not recieve an error.

Note: Internet Explorer 6 users make sure you have this update.

Note2: SBS2008 Users if you have multiple "Red X's" on your OWA Page, then install the latest Exchange 2007 roll up package.
