I suspect you are more likely to find answers to this question on a newsgroup
which specializes in that application than here in IE General... ; )


Good luck

Re: Windows Updates, IE7 and OWA   
It seems as if OWA is not detecting Internet Explorer and thus giving me the 
Basic OWA mode.

Perhaps it is a problem with your  User-Agent  string then?

You're correct, wonder what changed it???

I don't know.   What the heck is  "U;" ?   Alexa Toolbar is probably superfluous.
You could try uninstalling it to see if that gets rid of the  U:
Whatever it is your  User-Agent  string is being interpreted as  Netscape4
which means that it doesn't support  ActiveX  which explains why your OWA
is not working.

Try using the  User Agent Picker  or one of the reg hacks from that page
if you can't figure out a way to make it better.

FWIW  here is what I have after installing   .NET 3.5
and I didn't notice any difference as a result of it.
However, I don't have an  OWA  account to test.

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.590; MS-RTC LM 8; .NET 
CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)


Good luck

Robert

Set IE as your default Browser in Set Program Access and Defaults.
