[gui-talk] Is there a way? about IE7 and Favorite Center

[Gerald Levy]

I just installed IE 8, but this alert option doesn't seem to work.  When I 
scroll through my list of RSS feeds (Control-J) using JAWS 9, I don't hear 
any sound when I land on a feed labeled with "new" to indicate that the feed 
has updated content.  So, like with IE 7, there is apparently no sound alert 
to indicate when a feed has been updated even when this option is checked.
