[Blindmath] MathML issues

[Jose Tamayo]

This is not a security issue; as long as you know where you are downloading
the file from, you are ok.  this problem can only be an issue if you
download an unknown file to your hard drive and then try to run it.  As long
as you know what file you are downloading, youcan allow IE to strip the
header.

To solve the issue of installing the player, copy the installer to FAT32
formatted partition such as a thumb drive.  If you do this, IE strips off
the header that forces that warning.  Once you download the file to a FAT
partition, you won't get the warning about the security since Fat32 does not
support that security header in Windows.  

The header is added by IE to force the warning message since the file has
not been signed.

We are not aware of any problems with IE(6,7,8) and JAWS.  One problem users
sometimes have is the security alert that Birkir mentions.  I don't know how
JAWS conveys that -- from what Birkir says, it sounds like you need to use
F6 3 times to find it.  You might check with a sighted colleague also and
ask them if they see the little bar near the top of the window.  Perhaps in
your upgrades, some previous acceptance where you said it was ok to run
MathPlayer got wiped out or perhaps upgrading to MathPlayer 2.2 caused it to
warn you again.

Naturally, we wish MathPlayer didn't trigger that warning, but there is
nothing we can do about it.

Good luck in fixing your problem,
