I'm starting to think it's partly JAWS... When I get the "one item remaining..." message, if I route & use the JAWS cursor for a few seconds, I can re-activate the Virtual cursor and read the page. If I don't do this, the page never comes up. I did uninstall IE8 since I wrote last, but the problem on this particular site persisted.
I'm using JAWS 10, the latest build. Thanks for the reply and I'll try clearing the history as you suggested- but that has never been a problem before.

Just a thought.
