Hi George.I rolled it back myself there. For me there's nothing really compelling to use the thing other than they might be using it in work. In which case I can use Win Eyes and I'll be grand.
At home though I'll stick with 6 as long as the security patches are still being released for it. The fishing filter in IE7 I personally wouldnt' have on because it does slow pages loading for obvious reasons, but it's probably a nice feature for general computer users.

IE7 incorporates many changes, and not all are for the better. Many fully sighted people have removed it, including myself. For example, I'm not alone in coming to blows with it over the issue of 3rd party Help files. You may be aware that in IE6, Ctrl + Mouse Wheel, would increase or decrease the size of font when viewing an HTML Help file Topic. In IE7 when viewing web pages, this feature has been enhanced to enlarge or reduce graphics - as well as text. But it no longer works with anybody's Help files. In short, Microsoft have broken it somehow - or perhaps are just being..... I'd better not say!

If there's a patch or workaround for this it would be nice to know. Basically, try tabbing in IE7 with v8. Just tabbing through links. Hit the tab key quite quickly. Here nothing's spoken if I tab through at my quickest speed but with v6 of JFW it flys through the links. Even in IE7 which JFW6 doesn't fully support. I genuinly find this version quite sluggish in comparison. Anyone else who's not a Jaws zealot fancy testing this out? I'd like it either confirmed or denied as I find myself in situations were I need to use Jaws and it bugs me that the latest version is more sluggish than previous versions.
