Internet Explorer 8 will not work with JAWS 7. I don't think IE7 will work either. To use IE7 you need at least JAWS 8 and to use IE8 successfully you need at least JAWS 9 or 10. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com

Unfortunately, JAWS 7 will not work with IE 7 or IE 8. You need JAWS 9 or higher to use IE 8 and JAWS 8 or higher to use IE 7. In any case, upgrading to a later version of IE will not affect your favorites. Gerald - Original Message - From: Mich m...@ntl.sympatico.ca To:

Hi Mich, I am running Jaws 7.0 as well and using IE. 6 and It is a real pain at times. I don't know what we can do. Also it is a shame we have to pay so much to upgrade. I purchased Jaws 3.7u and The only reason I'm using 7. is because Rich my boyfriend has Jaws 7 Good luck. Kim Kelly
