Gerald, I suggest you pass your information to tech support at
Freedom Scientific. When I contacted them a few months ago, they
said Jaws 9 does not support I.E. 8. It's fine to have your
anecdotal information, but I don't think you're in a position to make
a claim different of that of F.S.

I hate to keep sounding like a broken record, but IE 8 works just
fine with JAWS 9. The key is that you must have the latest build
of JAW 9 which is 2191U. IE 8 will not work with earlier builds of
JAWS 9. Maybe the folks who claim that IE 8 doesn't work with JAWS
9 did not have the latest build installed. The only JAWS feature
that does not work is read Address Bar (JAWS key-A), which is really
no big deal. I have been using JAWS 9 with IE 8 every day for over
two years and have yet to encounter any serious compatibility issues.

Hi Dwight,
Jaws 9 does not support I.E. 8. although some claim to have them
working fine together, I had a lot of trouble with the combination,
so much so I had to roll back to I.E. 7. I'm afraid that's your
only option, besides upgrading Jaws, of course.

Hi Derek:
I tried your suggestion many times but it didn't work. I hope you
have something else I can try.
Thank you so much,

Hi Dwight:
To make the menu bar appear in Internet Explorer (IE8, do the following:
1. Open IE.
2. Press Alt+V to get to the View menu.
3. Press T to get to the Tool Bars sub-menu.
4. Press Enter on Menu Bar to check this option. You should now be able to
arrow through the menus.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and menu bar problem
Greetings:
I am using Jaws 9 and windows xp. A few days ago I went from IE 7 to IE 8.
Now when I go to the menu bar Jaws will read the headings such as file,
edit, view and so forth. When I press down arrow to enter one of those
items Jaws says context menu and then goes silent and will not speak again
until I press escape to return to the bar.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dwight Johnson
