Remember, when you use the "About" box as I suggested, you will have the option of configuring Internet Explorer from automatically installing a newer version of itself. Simply use tab to access this control. The suggestion below is also a very quick way of checking browser version--sorry I forgot to mention this Jaws hotkey (this hotkey can be used in just about any application).

HI Damien, You can also check the version of IE with the keystroke below: Insert, Control, + V This keystroke gets the application version of the currently running program. HTH Take care.

Hi Damien, If you are running Internet Explorer 9 on your windows 7 computer, you can uninstall it and Internet Explorer 8 will become your default browser. Here is how to do that: 1. Press the windows key to open the start menu search box then type the following and press enter: View installed updates 2. Wait about 30 seconds or 1 minute for all info related to installed updates has been loaded. when using Jaws, when this process finishes, you will hear "100%." 3. Down arrow through list of results, locate "Windows Internet Explorer 9," Press Shift + F10 or Windows applications key, then down arrow to "uninstall" and press enter. Note: to find this item quickly in this list you can press letter W until you locate Windows Internet Explorer 9. 4. Restart your computer if prompted to do so. 5. When your computer restarts press your Internet Explorer hotkey or launch it via Start menu search box. 6. If you are asked to setup initial Internet Explorer 8 preferences then do so. After you have completed the setup process, launch Internet Explorer and press Alt + H for the help menu then press letter A for about and use your Jaws cursor to read the screen. If you have successfully uninstalled Internet Explorer 9 this dialogue will confirm this fact and the dialogue will state that you are now using Internet Explorer 8. Press tab and you may come across a checkbox which you can check in order to prevent IE from automatically installing a newer version of itself. 7. If your Windows Updates are set to "automatic," don't forget to go back into the Windows Updates dialogue and hide the INTERNET EXPLORER 9 update so it doesn't install once again. You can hide the Internet Explorer 9 update by pressing Windows applications key or Shift F10 then down arrowing and pressing enter on the item which will hide the update. This procedure should work.

I have installed quite a few IE updates on other computers but but I haven't run into this problem before. I will try a direct install and see how that goes. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 8:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems installing IE9 You are correct in that there is no download link for any version of IE on the server. I suppose I could put links up there for those programs but I would have to get them first.

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.
