[gui-talk] Unable to Access Target.com web Site Using IE 8 With XP

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

IE 8 can autocomplete the entry of URLs and filenames.  I don't know whether JAWS 9 supports checking this, but when you type an address like www.target.com , you might be getting different results if you down arrow a couple of times.  IE is remembering a path where you have gone before, and this won't be forgotten unless you delete your browsing history.  Window-Eyes, NVDA and later versions of JAWS should be able to tell you what the whole URL is when you have typed the first part of it.  This is just a guess, but I think it's worth pursuing, since so many others are not having trouble with the site.  FireFox would be wotrking from a different URL history.

Actually, I can access Target.com just fine with Firefox 3.6, which pretty much rules out the possibility of a virus preventing IE 8 from accessing it.
