Carlos,
I don't think this is a JAWS issue as I managed to access both sites easily
with 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0, so it obviously is not a legacy support issue either,
but as I said in my previous email, it is more likely to be caused by a
popup blocker.
If you have google toolbar or yahoo toolbar, you can either remove them
under add/remove programs or disable them in the toolbars submenu of
Internet Explorer. If you have no success here, you could try reducing the
security level of Internet Explorer - in IE7 the lowest level is medium but
in previous versions you can set it to low. You could also switch off the
Windows popup blocker - I listen to many audio streams and I find that popup
blockers block my progress so I have turned them all off.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Pete H.
