hmmm, apparently they are, I'm trying to figure out how is the trick.
I thought I knew enough of w7 to assist you, but I still run into things that baffle me and this has just become one of them. I have not seen this reaction. or method of readout, are you using jaws or something else. and have you rebooted since the update? if your machine installed the I.E. 10 update, it must show up in the update window, that's start menu, then type in control panel until you have it enter, go to the "programs and features" link, and enter on it. next you tab across until you see the "view installed updates" link and enter on it and it will show up in that list of items if yours is not working this way then I have no clue what may or may not have been turned on or off to cause this change in readings. and to activate it should be the same internet explorer icon that was in your start menu previously. apologies on my not being able to assist you more in this, but you have me stumped this time, inthaneelf -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2013 12:54 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] navigating installed programs obviously I'm not familiar enough with the add or remove menu to follow your instructions. as I said, on my xp pc, internet explorer is displayed as internet explorer on the menu. on mine, the menu begins with 2, 3 digit numbers, the downloaded program name, (letters and numbers), another name, then date. if yours sounds different than this, then our machines are set different -----Original Message----- From: inthaneelf Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2013 1:29 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] navigating installed programs its in the updates sub section look for a (I think its a ) button and enter on it that should put you in the correct window. inthaneelf -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2013 3:25 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] navigating installed programs I went to the "add or remove " list, and there is no "internet explorer" listed, as it was on my xp pc, and only 2 windows listed, "windows live essentials" and "windows live sync", and since I do want to "uninstall" i.e. 10, can someone out there using windows 7, please go to their "add or remove" list, and tell me if there is a listing for their version of i.e., and if there is, please let me know what the listing says? -----Original Message----- From: Mujtaba Merchant Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 10:03 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] navigating installed programs Hi Tom, Try this out, in the search box of the start menu of windows 7 type add and remove programs and hit enter. Once the control panel window is open, use shift tab to move to the link that says Turn Windows features on or off and hit enter on it. In the list of programs you will find internet explorer which ever version, if you check the box and tab to the OK button, it will disable this feature. It's not exactly uninstalling the program but disabling the windows feature. Now you can go ahead and install the new version of IE. But to my knowledge you can directly upgrade IE by downloading the latest version and launching the setup file to the windows installer.
