[nfbcs] Trouble with IE8

Thu Sep 5 18:05:56 UTC 2013

I have PC Pitstop, which says it optimizes settings and cleans up various 
things.  Honestly, I don't notice much difference, but it doesn't hurt 
anything, either.

>> OK,
>> First off, XP PRO is a good OS, but it still has it's problems.
>> Most of the time it is an IE issue; IE likes to have it's HTML a certain
>> way.
>> Since there are only normalizations, and not distinct standards with
>> HTML
>> Authoring, you are likely to continue to have problems.
>> I have JAWS 13 on XP  HOME on my LT, and use XP PRO on all of my other
>> machines with NVDA. (Yes, I hate nvda, but it's free!)
>> Assside from that, if your fan is accelerating, it is a temperature /
>> processor issue.
>> JAWS 14 may not be the *best* for XP PRO.  I cannot speak t this

>> Reboot.
>> Try the problematic sites again and see what happens.

>> Also, with HEAT of Summer upon us, it is often also that broad-band

>>> I'm running Jaws 14 and IE8 on Windows XP Pro.
>>> Is there any way to find out what's happening when IE hangs?
>>> If I reinstall IE8, will it cause a disaster?
>>> Does IE9 work?  I remember hearing there were problems with it.
>>> TIA.
