Hello Duyahn: Many of us are drawn to the "accessible" version of Google's search engine. I have resisted that temptation, because the mainstream Google search page is quite accessible. First under the WE Settings dialogues, I find under Browse Mode Languages setting the reading of language changes to no, as well as under Read to End, makes the browsing experience better for me. When opening up Google some times there is a link that says something like Screen Reader Users click here to turn off Google Instant. Doing this is a good thing. If your security settings are set some where in the middle, Google should remember your preference and not ask you again. In the edit box, I press the enter key to turn off browse mode. I type my search terms, I recommend going largest to smallest or just type a question followed by a question mark. For example: Winnipeg restaurant Rudy's or how many square kilometres of water is there on the surface of the earth? Then I press the enter key. When the results come up, I am usually at the top of the page. The results are under a level 2 heading. Here you can press the letter H until you hear Window-Eyes say Heading Level 2 search results or press the digit 2 followed by the letter H. You might have to perform this sequence at least twice. This way you jump over adds and other stuff that many of us don't mind avoiding. HTH Vic

Here's where the problem begins. I see all the search results on the screen and all that but, Window eyes isn't speaking. I do not have any toolbars installed or anything like that. Window eyes stops speaking after I have typed in the search and in order to get it speaking again after the search results are displayed, I have to turn brouse mode back on manually. Did I break something? Because before, this was working fine. I am using Windows xp home, and Internet explorer 8 with service pack 3.
