hmmmm, extremely strange, I don't remember did you try setting the run as admin feature in the properties to on/checked?
and I don't remember does it do the same with the start menu version of the shortcut? and third, from the file in program files directly, the .exe I have no clue if it runs fine from the others except that that would seem to indicate that some sort of corrupted file is dogging the recognition of the file when you enter on it normally if the start menu shortcut runs the same, then I can only say that it sounds like you have a privileges problem, or a system fault if it doesn't delay when you use the start menu version of the shortcut you could try (depending on how much work you wish to do) 1 replacing the desktop with a stripped and re iconed desktop and/or making a hotkey for the start menu shortcut and using that to run it Hope something in my rattling's here help, inthane -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of david Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 8:08 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] internet explorer 9 good morning all; well, a little more information regarding my wife's vista machine and internet explorer 9. it seems, if I just press the icon on the desktop, IE takes forever to load a page, example; google.com however, if I take the following steps, 1, desktop, highlight internet explorer, 2, press applications key, press the letter "a"=run as administrator 3, either tab to continue, or alt+c for the user account control, the page loads in seconds. does anyone have any ideas on what to do?
