Windows XP SP2 includes a number of security enhancements that can
affect OWA. The most noticeable issue is caused by the pop-up
blocker preventing some of OWAs windows from opening. This problem
isn't new, it's has been a long standing problem with nearly every
pop-up blocker available, but it's going to affect a lot more users
now that Windows XP has a pop-up blocker enabled by default.
Steps required to insure OWA works correctly:
Use the Information Bar setting to trust the OWA site all the time or
temporarily.
Add the OWA site to the Trusted zone in Internet Options to
insure JavaScript and Active X (used for S/MIME control) work
correctly.
