[blparent] shopping on line question

[Jeri Milton]

Thanks Tammy for the advice. I'm going to try what you and V. suggested.
I've been out of the technology loop for a few years so please forgive me.

Hi,

She most likely doesn't have any malware or a virus, just an old version of
jaws and a new version of internet explorer.  Ie and jaws fight all the time
and pages load slow and links don't read or click properly.  Try finding the
accessibility link as veronica suggested previously.  If that doesn't work
you might try contacting these stores by phone and ordering that way.  It's
not the most convenient but this time of year it will take less time then
waiting and waiting for the pages to load.  Also, did you try downloading a
demo of jaws 14 and seeing if that does correct the problem?  you can use
the demo for 40 minutes at which time you have to reboot to use it again. 
Also not the idea solution but it might be helpful in some circumstances.

I can think of at least two possible problems, it could be that your old
version of JAWS doesn't know how 'to deal 'with things  on the web page, and
or you may have some sort of virus or malware. That kind of delay isn't
normal.  Dave
