Hi,
Well, I did a search on-line, and I think I solved the problem.
It was a cookie problem, and a page I found suggested that I go into the IE 
tools /options page, and the delete browsing history section.
I left the critical items unchecked, such as passwords and the like and after 
deleting everything, I went into Amazon.com and now I have a regular page again.

Subject: Intro and Internet Explorer Problem


Hello All,
This is Glenn in Northeast Nebraska.
I believe in myself to be a relatively computer-wise person most of the time, 
but I have a problem that has me stumped this time, and hoping someone here 
might have an idea for me.
I called Amazon about this problem, and they could not help me, they don't have 
a clue.
Anyway, what happened is that I was trying to help someone with little computer 
skills, via eMail, because he was having a problem with making some purchases 
from Amazon.com.
So I suggested that he try the access page by typing in the Amazon.com URL with 
/access at the end.
He could not make that simple thing happen, so I told him that I would eMail 
him the URL, because he can press enter on a link.
Well, all that helped, but to be sure that the /access page was still going on 
with Amazon, I actually did it first from my Internet Explorer.
It is, and I copied the URL and sent it to him, and that was the end of his 
problems, and the beginning of mine.

I prefer IE over FireFox, which I also have installed.
But now, there is no way I can get to a non-access page on Amazon.com, and I 
would prefer the non-access page, because I don't want separate links for 
reviews and details, and I like headings on pages, which the access pages lack.
I can copy the URL from IE, and paste it into the open page dialog in FF, and I 
get a normal non-access page.
So I tried to copy the non-access URL from FF, and paste it into the open page 
dialog in IE, and it takes me to an access page in IE.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit and the latest IE for windows 7 and Jaws 18. 
I'm thinking that this is a cookie problem.
I looked under my name-folder and found cookies, but windows treats it like a 
file and asks me which program to open it with.
I had asked on another list and a good suggestion was to export my cookies and 
then delete the cookie folder, and then import the cookies.
I did that, and with IE all closed out, but when I went back in, I still get 
Amazon's access page.

I'm hoping for another suggestion.
Thanks.

Glenn
