I am using IE8 and jaws 14 latest build on XP SP3 I don't know what going on then. I have noticed in the past that I will look at google at home and then when I get to work I open it and it will be different from the one I saw at home. Does it serve up different pages depending on what server you hit?

Okay, which version of IE are you using? With IE 8, there are no radio buttons , or combo boxes under any of the headings to select the option you want. And there is no button to save your preferences. Everything worked fine on Monday, so at least for IE 8, the format and layout of the Search Settings page seems to have been changed since then.
