You know, come to think of it, I'm having the same issue with my Verizon home page. I thought it was some kind of new development and was considering changing home pages. But then, I went out and came back and everything worked just fine. Maybe someone should alert Freedom Scientific about this. Sooner or later, they usually do find the time to deal with serious issues like this.

This is what I try 1. Insert+Esc to refresh Jaws 2. Close Jaws & restart 3. Copy the address Alt+d then Alt+c; Close IE then re-open it and Alt+d then Alt+v to paste the address I was on Usually one of the above works before I have to reboot my pc.
