Steve,
I don't think IE 9 is supported by XP, though. She has XP,
meaning that probably the latest version that she can get on her
operating system is version 8.

Marsha,
Is JFW working on other programs such as your word processor and
Windows menus? If it is, there is a
pretty good chance that the problem is with Internet Explorer.
You said you updated Internet explorer
recently to version 8. Are you certain that you got version 8 as
version 9 is the current version and
there are some issues with screen readers.
If you have version 8, you should try to run it with "no
add-ins." If you are running Windows XP, you
will find this version of Internet Explorer in "System Tools" in
the Accessories menu within Programs on
the Start Menu. In Windows 7, you should be able to type
"internet explorer" into the search box on the
start menu and one of the options returned should be the "(no
add-ins)" version. If that version of
Internet Explorer works, then you have an add-in that is causing
the problem such as a toolbar or
something.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Hi Marsha,
I actually just had a related thought that is worth putting out
there. Have you installed any third-party software lately? A few
months ago, I installed a program recommended by my on-line
banking
site that is supposed to improve Internet security (preventing
hackers
from stealing your passwords, etc.), but after the program was
installed I had exactly the same problem as you do: JAWS wasn't
reading the text on web pages. I have no idea whether this is at
all
relevant to you, but I just want to mention that sometimes
third-party
software can interfere with JAWS in very unpredictable way, so if
you
installed anything right before JAWS stopped working with IE it
may be
worth removing the program and see whether it fixes things.
Also, I know the tech support at FS isn't the best, but if
nothing
else comes through for you before Monday, it won't hurt to give
them a
call. At least there is a chance they will be able to solve the
problem for you!

I read the NBP book and it helped a lot.

I don't
have much confidence in Microsoft. For example look at Vista,
and how much
of a screw up that was. What is to say that 7 is any better.
Nope, not
upgrading.
Okay I have digressed, back to the original question. So if it
is suppose
to
work, then why is mine not.

IE 8 should work with XP so Marsha shouldn't have a problem. As
versions
advance, they often do not work work with old software.
Guess everyone needs to get rid of xp and go to windows 7.

Hi chriss,
No. sadly, Microsoft did not make internet explorer 9 to work
with
windows
xp, and it is not supported for that operating system. Just like
you've
been
hearing about all those trends now that certain programs or
functions will
not work with XP just because XP is not as new and updated as
windows 7
and
even windows vista. E.G. windows media player 12.0 is also not
supported
by
windows xp, and some other new applications designed to work with
newer
systems. Did you even hear that Microsoft is dropping support
for windows
xp
in 2014?

Hi Marsha and everyone,
I have IE 9 on Windows 7, but does it work on XP? I'm not sure.
Humberto, it sounds like version 8 was working for her before
now, so
it should be compatible with XP.

Just because I am using IE 8 doesn't mean it can't work. I
would rather
figure out why its not working as is, as it was before. I
already
updated
to
IE 8, and that did not work. So what is going to do for me to
update to
IE9.
I would like it to work with what I have, just because an update
comes
out
doesn't mean it's the latest and greatest thing.
So if you have any suggestions to why it is now not working,
please
share.

IE 8, is obselete.
IE 9 just came out.
Get it, and see what happens.
Also, Jaws 13 should be out, if I'm not mistaken.
If that doesn't work, let me know, and I'll contact Freedom
Scientific.
I'll E-mail them, so I don't have to deal with that
unprofessional hold
music.

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!
