Don't worry, Steve, you don't sound silly. But I've checked and I can indeed change my Gmail settings from the basic HTML view in Internet Explorer 6 too. Now my Gmail account is British, and the servers that host it may be running a different version of the Gmail software than the servers for your Gmail account, so this isn't 100% conclusive.
Could you possibly find out the exact text of the message telling you to switch back to standard view? And does it appear as soon as you login, when you follow the Settings link, or when you attempt to save changed settings? Also has this always happened or is this a new problem? Sometimes "this page is taking longer than usual to load" comes up when Gmail is in a bit of a mess and then a day or so later it returns to normal. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis Steve Boodram wrote: > Hi Benjamin I am using JAWS 7 and Internet Explorer 6.
