thanks Amar for the info. does IE 9 come with a download manager like they have in FF? I have somewhat started shifting to FF, but with Jaws 11, there seems to be some problem, as it tends to get stuck, particularly when there is flash content involved. heard IE 9 has some major improvement when it comes to video and other flash content?
