Sometimes, pressing Control+Enter works. Sometimes, turning brouse mode off
before pressing these keys works. I have found some instances in which a
pressing Enter on an item will activate a link when it is not displayed as a
link in Window-Eyes. Good luck.

Hi David, I did get the Amazon links to work by using the insert tab and
activate link choice. When I select the Yes link and go to the context menu,
Open does not even appear.
But nothing will get the Greyhound link to work. I can get the Open choice to
appear with that link, but hitting it does nothing. When I use the insert tab
method, it clicks as though it were opening, but the same page comes up.
In fairness, it may be putting up the same page because I did not fill out
the required information for my itinerary, but nothing on the page says that,
so I have no idea what's going on there.

Here is two work-arounds, that I end up using quite often. They don't
always work, but it is worth a try, and please report back, if it does not,
since others might have further ideas.
Locate yourself on the link, that does not work. Then hit the APP key, and
scroll down till you hit the menu choice of Open. It should be the first or
second choice on your list. Hit ENTER. This forces the link to open, in a
somehow different way than just hitting ENTER, or whatever the reason is why it
works.
If the approach above did not take you anything further, try this one.
Still, locate yourself at the troublesome link. On your Numpad, hit the
INSERT-PLUS combination, to bring the mouse there. Use the INSERT-NUMPAD-6, and
INSERT-NUMPAD-4, to move your mouse till it gets at the right word, then hit
the NUMPAD-SLASH key, to left-click on the link.
I agree, this happens more and more often; and a real solution won't be
around, till next WE version. But, if any of the above could be a work-around,
at least you can do your job. In IE8, have you made sure to turn on
compatibility mode, for the troublesome page, and see if that could fix your
problem. In certain cases, I do find, that Firefox will let you click on
objects, that you can't get to work in IE, and vice-versa. That's why I have
both browsers installed, and am switching between them, depending on the job to
be done; and the site to be visited. It is my hope, that the new browser
feature of GW, will workk similar in both browsers, that we don't have to run
zic-zac in our software collection, just to do a plain forward job.

Using WE 7.2 and IE8, Vista Home Premium, I'm having the same problem
with the Search Schedules link on
http://www.greyhound.com/#
I tried just hitting "enter" on it; I tried routing the pointer to it;
nothing seems to make it work. Any other ideas?
Is this something wrong with my system, or is there something goofy with
Window Eyes? Does anyone ever have this problem with Firefox?
Thanks.
Evan
