Hi Norma,
Just because FS says a particular version of Jaws doesn't support a
particular application,
doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work with it.
I am still using Jaws 6.2 with IE 8, and except for some websites, it
works fine for me.
Results will always vary from system to system.
HTH,
Rick Justice

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
