Hi, Jim, If upgrading isn't an option, maybe you could try web IE. I don't know of another browser other than firefox or chrome. Rosemarie -Original Message- From: Jim Redding Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 5:28 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computin

Yeah, I really think you are going to have to abandon ie6 at some point. If FireFox or google chrome wont work either, you may want to try WebbIe, a very basic but rather rugged web browser. It can be downloaded from http://www.webbie.org.uk/ Thanks. Bob - Original Message - From: "Dori

If you cannot upgrade to a newer version of IE and the webpages you need to access do not work with ie, open them in firefox instead. If you are running win 2k still, at least firefox 3.6 and 4.0 will work on win 2k. Not sure about later versions of firefox. hth Doris At 07:28 AM 11/3/20
