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).

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 filesExchsrvrexchweb

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

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

2. Enter the following commands.

regsvr32 “C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedTriedittriedit.dll”

regsvr32 “C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedTrieditdhtmled.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.
