OWA 2007 - single user only able to get light client - definitely light and not low-vision

I have a single user who is only able to log in via premium client. I have not had her test other workstations in her area, but all other users in her area are able to get Premium and I gave myself rights to her mailbox and when I open her mailbox from my desktop I also get light client (whereas my mailbox goes to premium with no problems).

I have tried the powershell command "Get-CASMailbox -identity username |FL OWAPremiumClientEnabled" to see if premium client is enabled for her and it comes back $true

I even tried "Set-CASMailbox -identity username OWAPremiumClientEnabled:$true"
and "Set-Mailbox UserName -ApplyMandatoryProperties" (just to be sure - lol) and each of those came back with the message that no properties had been changed, of course.

We are running Exchange 2007, SP1 on Windows 2003 Enterprise R2, 64-bit, SP2, and users are running XP client.

Open to any suggestions...

Thanks,
Kate

Sorry - my bad for not specifying - we are all using IE - IE7, actually.

No, they aren't turned on. There is only the one option for blind/low-vision and it is NOT checked. I tried - just for giggles - checking that option, saving, logging out, then logging back in with the new setting. Then I un-checked that box, saved, logged back out, and logged back in. Still looks like light client, although the "about" shows "premium" as the OWA experience set for that user (see copy of "about" above).
