JoAnne,
I have had the same experience, intermittently and inconsistently using Jaws
10 and 11 with IE8. There are times it brings up a blank page, but if you
turn off the virtual cursor it works. Other times, even on the same
website, it will work fine. It really seems to be a problem in Aria
compliant sites such as Yahoo.
I have not noticed this using Win-Eyes 7.1 though.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] internet explorer showing blank pages when using jaws
I'm using Jaws 10 and 11 with XP Home, and it seems that either of these 2
Jaws versions has not been working when using I.E. 8. What I wish I could
do is get rid of the stuff on the left side of the page--that Web address
and home split button you see. Because that actually seems to be where
the problem lies--plus it is annoying because you can't just go to links
like you could in I.E. 6. What seems to happen is, it tells you you're on
the right page, but going past that home split thing it shows nothing. I
sometimes see links if I turn off and on the virtual cursor, or if I hit
F5 to refresh. But often I can't get the links and text bodies of the
pages to show up. I know it went to the right page but something is
either blocking it or something is maybe set wrong in config. Now the odd
thing is, usually when using my special version of Jaws 8 this doesn't
happen; however I can't use Jaws 8 to find a favorite because hitting alt
and the letter a it doesn't read the list of favorites. So if anyone can
help resolve these issues would appreciate it.
Also does F.S. recommend anything regarding tool bars? Should they be
locked, and which ones would one use when browsing with Jaws? I just
wondered if that had any difference in my not getting links to come up.
Thanks.
