[nabs-l] JAWS question, please help

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Bridgit,

I use IE 9, and it is accessible with JAWS 12.  What parts do you 
find inaccessible? The only annoying part is it's always saying 
"the notification bar requires your response.  Press alt plus n 
to set focus to the notification bar." If a dialog comes up from 
a Web page, I have to hit alt n to get it to read it to me.  
Besides that, IE 9 is accessible, as long as the Web sites you're 
going to are.

real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

Marsha,

First, don't update to Explorer 9 as it's completely inaccessible 
with
JAWS.  I am working with I E 8 and JAWS 12, and I haven't ran 
into this
problem.  If you go online, try hitting the F5 key to refresh the 
page.
Also try going to another website to see what happens.  If this 
doesn't
do anything, just close off the internet and retry.  Perhaps even
restarting your entire computer may make a difference as well.  
I'm no
tech savvy person, so beyond this, I have no other suggestions.  
Good
luck.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

I am using JAWS 12.  And I have Internet Explorer 8.  when I go 
to a
webpage, Jaws does not read the page.  I know its there, as I can 
use my
other curser modes, and it will read the page.  But when in the 
PC mode,
it reads nothing.  Seems that this just happened a few days ago, 
before
all was fine.  I originally had IE 7, so updated thinking that 
was the
issue.  I have installed all the windows updates, including all 
the jaws
updates.  Nothing has seemed to work.  This is very baffling to 
me.



Please help!



Marsha
