Judith:
Still no joy here, although I appreciate your suggestion. The best way I can describe my situation is that when I hit enter to start entering info, my main cursor seems to be stuck. I can't do anything with the arrow keys, and Jaws says nothing. . When I hit my tab key, I seem to be kicked out of the main web page into a Bing search engine tab. Strange thing is that I disabled all add-ons, so you would think Bing wouldn't be there any more.

I was having the same problem with IE and when I needed to activate an edit field I simply hit the space bar. Thankfully this activated it.

When I get into a form, and use insert escape, followed by insert 8 on the numpad, and then hit enter to enter the text, Jaws verbalizes the text, but the PC cursor doesn't seem to move. Then, if I hit the tab key to go into the next edit field, I get into a tab about the Bing search engine, which is obviously outside of the main web page in which I'm working. This happens on several web sites that I have tried so far, and was the same problem with IE 11 I encountered last Summer.

Keeping focus on the edit field, I then press insert-numpad 8 to read the content. Otherwise, I don't have the same problem. Is there a specific website?

As some of you may remember, I have been reluctant to move from IE 10 to IE 11, because of problems I had last summer with IE 11 in terms of being able to enter text into text boxes on web sites that I access. However, since I now have been forced to upgrade to IE 11 due to no Microsoft support for IE 10, I decided to take the leap today, and install IE 11. I installed IE 11 from the .exe file that I downloaded and saved from the Microsoft web site, and the installation seemed to go well. I also was pleasantly surprised to find that my internet favorites had all been preserved, even though I had saved my favorites folder as a back-up, in case something went wrong. However, this is where the good news ends. I'm now back to having the same text-entry problems I had last summer. I had my sighted wife watch while I ttried entering text into edit boxes, and she tells me that my main cursor does not move when I try to do so. As I enter text, Jaws speaks the text, but it is not entered into the web form. I have Jaws set to manually enter forms mode, so I know I'm in forms mode, since I get the higher-sounding click whenever I hit enter. I have made sure all add-ons, extensions, and toolbars are disabled, but so far, no joy! Last summer when I had this issue, I worked with Freedom Scientific Technical Support, with the Microsoft Accessibility hotline staff, and with another well-experienced Jaws user from this list, and we could never solve the issue. At least I have Firefox now as my main internet browser, and that works fine! If anyone has any other suggestions of things for me to try, please send them my way. I am extremely frustrated with Internet Explorer at this point! Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan
