Using Microsoft Outlook Webmail: Unable to create message text

[Rae]

I have recently purchased a new desktop with MS Vista. I use Outlook Webmail
for work. With the new PC I am unable to create a email message, the text or
respond to a message. I receive a small red "X" in the upper lefthand
corner. I am able to read messages though. I think it's a security setting
but can't locate anything. I can successfully use Webmail on Windows XP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds as if you have a popup blocker installed. This may be with your
browser or your security software. Try the standard pressing the CTRL key
while clicking the link and see if that lets you open it up. If it does then
that's probably what it is. If it doesn't then that still may be the
problem. Start with checking your browser's settings and what not.

Hello Galen. Long time did not see you.

Nice to see you too.

My mother passed away and I went on a giant tour of the country for a while.
Some, a few, of the pics:

I also did some OSS stuff with SMF, basically I took a break.

I think I'll stick it out for a while again. I seem to stick it out for a
few years, go do something different, and then return.
