Just to add, I turned Flash off in the JAWS Config manager and it's the
best
thing I ever did as they are a real pain.

Hi Hazel... my usual incomplete reply. but it's probably all to do with
this Flash thing. It's a program that shows movie clips, and can be a
damned nuisance. A lot of sites are financed by adverts, and these often
take the form of pop-up windows, and if they contain a Flash movie, it
can
take forever to clear. One thing you could try is pushing ctrl + tab,
which
will push the window you want to the top, instead of the Flash thingy.
There is also the option to kill Flash in the Jaws configuration manager,
but I won't go into this now.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Add-ons!
Hi The List!
I came accross add-ons for the first time to day. I was trying to
connect
to the internet when it anounced that there was no links found. I did
get
some sighted help to disable the add-ons as it silenced my jaws. But now
I
am wondering if I will need these add-ons in the future. What is a
add-on?
What is it used for? What is a Macro? and what is a Flash player? Any
information will help me understand what is going on with my computer!
And
why do Add-ons pop up?
Best wishes,
Hazel.
