I have been using Internet Explorer 9 for a week or two now and the only minor problem I have found is with downloading files. Files can be downloaded but the process is a bit more like Firefox. Are there any other as yet undiscovered screenreader issues?

Actually, except possibly for Window-Eyes at the moment, many current releases of screen readers do not yet work properly with IE9.0 and that is just people on the current versions of products. This position will change for many currently releases including JAWS soon.

The instructions posted do not go far enough to address most screen reader issues.

Why would you want to do this, out of interest? I know that IE9
complies MUCH better with web standard, and I thought it was supposed
to be more accessible too.
Have you tried the section "To make Internet Explorer 9 work better
with screen readers" at
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Internet-Explorer-9-accessibility-options#section_3

So before you roll-back to old tech, I, as a designer of websites for
VI people, would like to know a bit more about why.

Thanks

Hi List,

My Internet Explorer as been automatically updated from ver 8 to ver 9.
how
can I roll it back to ver 8. I've looked in programs and features but I
can't find an internet explorer in their to uninstall and I can't find one
on the program itself with the application key, only revert back to an
earlier   version which doesn't do anything. Can someone help me with this
problem?

Thanks for any assistance.
Jim
