Or maybe it works with Vista but not XP. But I encountered other problems
with IE 8. I subscribe to an audio magazine called Talking Computers, a
podcast aimed at blind computer users which uses embedded Real Player audio
on its home page to speak the menu options for accessing its various
functions. It turned out that this feature wouldn't work at all with IE 8
as it did with IE 7. The Talking Computers technical expert spent hours on
the phone with MS trying to resolve this issue to no avail. He was so upset
over their "so what if it doesn't work" attitude, that he is threatening to
bring this matter directly to the attention of Bill Gates. So for now, IE 8
is not ready for prime time. Maybe when it becomes available as an
automatic Update, I'll try it again.

I currently have the page open and I didn't even go into compatibility
mode. It works fine. I have Jaws 10 and IE8. Maybe you just needed to
reinstall it. Or maybe you had an add-on that was causing it.

With IE 8, I could never successfully load the Radio Shack home page (see
below. Every time I tried to access it, I would get an error message
that IE needs to close. So I would hit Space on the Close button and IE
would then close and reopen on my home page or previously visited site
with the message that IE was unable to recover the web page. I never
encountered this problem with IE 7. Now that I'm using IE 7 again, the
Radio Shack home page loads fine. BTW I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3 with
JAWS 9, if that makes any difference.

I'm using IE 8 and it is working beautifully. I was going to switch to
Firefox, but in the end IE is better. The only thing Firefox has is
that caption feature. That is the only reason I am going to keep it in
my Desktop. You probably just had to adjust a setting because I have
had no problems what so ever.

Apart from the issues I suddenly had with regard to trying to edit
emails I was either replying to or forwarding in OE due to (I presume)
the virtual buffers etc., I also now yesterday got blocked when trying
to search for one or two things on google, and the error/page returned
said something like:
error 503, access denied
Was something relating to the site thinking I was actually a webcrawler
engine or something trying to carry out an automated search or
something, and I can only think it might have related to something like
IE 8's cookie handling/content processing or something, but either way,
now that have gone back to IE 7 it all seems alright again - let's see
how it goes anyway...
FWIW, am using Windows XP Pro, and Jaws 10 at this stage.
Stay well
