save your amazon password first. grin
if you are being logged on to amazon automatically
you have to log off first. then use the accessibility page and log on. then
you will get to that site.
you will have to log off again to go back to the normal site or else you will
have the same problem. it will keep going back to the accessibility site.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] 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
