Hello all - Thanks to the improving driver support for XP x64, I recently
made the switch from Wintel 32 bit to AMD X2 x64.

My experience generally is great, however I've noticed an odd thing
happening with Outlook 2003 (32 bit) I hoping someone can help me with.

I connect to my Office with Cached Exchange mode, over https via an Exchange
Proxy on the outside of my company's intranet, using Basic Authentication
(not NTLM). When I crank up Outlook, I sign into my Exchange Server and all
is well.

Sometime later however (usually at least an hour), the password dialog pops
up again, and despite entering my password fine, authentication fails.
Closing Outlook and restarting it fixes the problem (until the
authentication box pops up again an hour later) - wash... rinse... repeat...

Has anyone seen anything like this, and better still do you know of a fix?

Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Aha - it's a bug in IE7 Beta documented here
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=904942 for which there is supposed to be
an x64 hotfix (link on KB page).

Trouble is when I click on the x64 link to download the hotfix, it says
'this download is not available'.

A quick search of the download center shows that only a patch for x86 XPSP2
exists currently (named suspiciously WindowsXP-KB904942-v2-x86-ENU.exe)
suggesting the patch has been rev'ed at least once.

Any kind MS folk know if this patch (v2) will be published for x64 or do I
have to uninstall IE7 Beta as seems to be the trend on the newsgroup for
other issues...

Thanks
Simon.
