Hi Ben and all,
Arielle is right on point. JAWS 11 was not maid to be 100 percent
compatible with windows 7 and the latest version of Internet Explorer.
So, for the upcoming papers use Firefox, which I quite frankly prefer
to Explorer any day. Also, you should request a JAWS update, JAWS 13
works beautifully with windows 7. In the meantime, firefox is the way
to go, unless of course, you need to read pdfs.
