Once the control panel window is open, use shift tab to move to the link that says Turn Windows features on or off and hit enter on it. In the list of programs you will find internet explorer which ever version, if you check the box and tab to the OK button, it will disable this feature. It's not exactly uninstalling the program but disabling the windows feature. Now you can go ahead and install the new version of IE. But to my knowledge you can directly upgrade IE by downloading the latest version and launching the setup file to the windows installer.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Help Needed, problems with Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 11.0
Hi GM, Another thought, if your Zoom settings are wrong this would make Jaws read weird as well. In Office / Word 2007 try the following: 1. Open a new Word document. 2. Press theAlt key to open the ribbon toolbar. 3. Press the right arrow key until you get the View tab & press the spacebar to open. 4. Right arrow to Zoom & press the spacebar to open. 5. Now, arrow up or down to the 100% radio button, tab to okay, & press the spacebar to save your changes & close. Checking Zoom in Internet Explorer: 1. Open Internet Explorer. 2. Press, Alt + V, for the view menu. 3. Arrow down to the, Zoom sub-menu, & press enter. 4. Now, arrow down & if 100% isn't checked, press enter on 100% to check it, pressing enter will also save your change & close the menus. HTH Take care.

Personally I like my display set to classic, but that's just me. Also the screen resolution is hard to say. For example on my system that I recently upgraded from XP Media Center to 7 pro the recommended screen resolution is different even though nothing else has changed. Also each monitor does have its own native settings from the manufacturer, so like I say that is a tuff call. Never the less we have given hopefully enough information pointing in the right direction.

Go to the control panel & display . In Display make sure that on the Desktop page that is set on, Bliss, on the Screensaver page it is set on none, & on the Settings page it is set for 1024 by 768. Also, did you install any programs or toolbars that might be interfering with Jaws? Or, what exactly did you do directly before this problem began? Take care.
