Re: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Introducing Free Kindle Software withAccessibility Features
Dear Victoria, I am sorry, I am not familiar with Windows 7. Neither am I all that familiar with adjusting Internet Explorer. As I remember you can use the Jaws cursor when you hear the pop-up sound and move with it to near the top of the screen where there is a place to right click and allow the pop-up and the download however you would be better to go through the Security settings of Internet Explorer I think it is near or at the bottom of the tools Menu. I can't tell you exactly under which tab but it is in the security settings. Enable pop-ups there before you go to the Site to download the application. You might put this out to the general list, I am pretty sure someone will be used to this sort of problem and be able to give more precise instructions.

I had no idea that this accessible Kindle software exited. May be you could help me? When I tried to download it, it was blocked by my Pop Up blocker. Do you know how to tell the Windows XP3 Internet Explorer 7, to allow a download that has been blocked? Is there any keyboard command we can use, as soon as we hear the Block sound, to continue the download? Many thanks!

Hi Victoria, Typing alt t will bring up the tools in IE. Then arrow down to pop up blocker submenu and press enter. From here you can unblock the pop up.
