Attention fellow Window-eyes users: I'm not sure how many of you use IE 8, but be forewarned. As of Friday last week, a strange advertisement of some sort has started coming up whenever you start Internet Explorer 8. When you first open it, you'll be placed in a dialog box, which contains the following controls: 1. two edit boxes asking you for your email address and password 2. these are followed by a checkbox that says, "keep me logged in" 3. next is a link that says, "login to Facebook"Then after that, are two buttons to which are not readable with Window-eyes. I can't tell if this is just another one of those pesky ads or a rootkit or virus or something.. But whatever it is, it sometimes makes IE inaccessible with Window-eyes. I've found that if you shut down IE and then start it up again, this has the effect of pushing this thing into the background, so that Google will have focus. I know its a Google/IE thing, because you don't get this in Firefox. So I just thought I'd be a good samaritan and let you know what I've found. Sorry if this is off topic, but I just like to look out for my fellow Window-eyes users and help to keep all of you informed. So, the breaking of list rules is not intended. Mike Rochester, NY.
