Pete,

        You're absolutely right. Possibly working too late last night, but a
second look does show up the esc=FAchenos en vivo    link in Jaws 7.0+. =
Good
spot!

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.
