Hi,
personally, I vastly prefer using the virtual cursor to our old methods. It
does, however, have some limitations, especially when dealing with objects
generated by JavaScript. Our virtual mode cannot "see" the information
generated by JavaScript. To my knowledge, this is also a problem with the
other screen readers which provide an easy, word processor like, interface
to web pages.
On pages like these, you can TAB to JavaScript links, you can turn off the
v-cursor temporarily with the INSERT+Z keystroke or, if you absolutely
prefer having the old style IE support available all of the time, you can go
into the advanced section of our configuration manager and uncheck the "use
virtual cursor..." check box and you will never see it again. We do our
best to provide as much flexibility as possible.
Thanks,
cdh

This is due to the Virtual PC cursor being active as a default. You must
toggle it off [Insert]+[Z] to get the page to read normally. This cursor
is toggled back on automatically when you leave one web page to go to
another. I really don't like that functionality of the Virtual PC
cursor. I find myself wanting to use the old method of reading web pages,
instead of the V-PC cursor one.
