You have about three choices, two of which involve costs: 1. Upg rade
your OS; 2. Upgrade your JAWS; 3. Install and use the FREE NVDA
screen-reader. If NVDA, then you could use Firefox on google's pages. A
disk clean up might assist, if none of the above are acceptable.

But Chrome is not very JAWS accessible, and I'm sick and tired of
Mozilla's endless cycle of new Firefox releases which don't work well
with JAWS.

Google want you to download & install their own browser, Chrome.
Firefox is like it and, for several of our purposes, replicates
Chrome nearly and more accessibly, as well as having better keyboard
support for functionalities.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Change Google Search Settings
Hi listers. Using IE 8 with XP and JAWS 9, I discovered this
morning that Google.com has apparently changed its home page yet
again, and now I am unable to change my preferences on the search
settings page. There seems to be no way to turn Google Instant on or
off like there used to be, nor is there any apparent way to change
the number of results per page from the default value of 10. And I
could not find any button to save the search preferences. I tried
with the virtual PC cursor on and off (Insert Z), but nothing seems
to work. I was last able to successfully change my search settings
a few days ago. I think I heard a brief message that my browser was
outdated and no longer supported or something like that, which , of
course is nonsense, because IE 8 is the latest bersion supported by
XP. Does anyone have any idea what's going on with Google? Are
they conspiring with MS to force us to upgrade to Windows 8? Is
there any way to change the number of results per page and insure
that Google Instant is turned off, short of switching to Firefox,
which I despise and use only for its Webvisum function? Thanks.
Gerald
