[Blind-Computing] IE 9 came on computer but I want IE 8

2012-05-30 Thread Sharon Gosling
I got a new Dell Win 7 laptop recently and it came with IE 9. On my previous laptop I have constantly rolled it back to IE 8 which is a royal pain but can be done. But on the new one there was not an IE 8 to roll back to. When I searched on the Microsoft site it said there was IE 8 for XP

Hi. You could try using nvda an open source screen reader. It works well with ie 9. I have it on my computer and use it almost all the time. The only time I do not use it is to do some design in Microsoft access. When you first download it the voices leave a lot to wish for. However you can get

IE9 works different than IE8. I am not sure how the new methods work with older versions of JAWS. Instead of a dialog that pops up for things like security, or approving an add-on, or a file download, it displays the message of the dialog and the buttons for it's options in the Information bar.
