Yep. Sounds like a reasonable plan. Also, regarding Internet Explorer 8, my thought was one of a possible reformat and the need for the Windows XP user to install Internet Explorer 8 once again rather than the default ie6. On the other hand, we want to encourage the Windows XP user to move on to Windows7, and removing the ability to download Internet Explorer 8 will definitely lessen the likelihood one would want to stick with such an ancient OS when Windows7 is the new "xP."

Currently I have both 32 and 64 bit versions of IE 9 as well as 10 in what I for the lack of a better term my pending directory. IE 8 has been around for such a long time it is no longer in demand because pretty much everybody has it. I had it on the server some time ago when it was popular to be honest but that has been a couple of years already. Possibly if there are enough requests I can link them up there for download, I'll wait and see how the day goes.

Unless I misunderstood your post and you included this in your summation. <Smile>. I believe Windows XP will run Internet Explorer 8, so you might want to include the 32bit version of this browser too. I wouldn't worry about Microsoft since the worst that can happen is they send you a reminder not to post their stuff, but I doubt it. <Smile>.

If my calculations are correct it would come to around 130 MB on the server if I placed all 4 files on the server. The space is there but I'm not certain if Microsoft would take a dim view of that or not.

I think you will end up having to download and post about 2 versions for XP, 4 versions for Win7, and 2 for Win8.

I suppose I could put links up there for those programs but I would have to get them first.

I have tried to install IE9 many times from the windows updates but it always locks up my computer. It seems to try installing IE9 and IE10 at the same time and locks up my computer everytime. Does anyone have a direct download for IE9 that you could pass on to me? I would appreciate it very much. I looked over the jaws-users home site but couldn't find anything there.
