I haven't been paying proper attention to this, but IE 9 is worth having, is it? I haven't changed to 8 yet, having read so many people saying stick with 7 as 8 doesn't work so well with JAWS. Could go straight for 9 though. Is it better than 7? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Iain Lackie Sent: 06 April 2011 21:14 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: can't navigate round the BBC Iplayer I went ahead and installed IE9.

But I am sorry to disagree with you over the upgrading issue here. If you know what you are upgrading, what you are looking for and have a good reason to upgrade, there's no need to put up with, not just an old peace of software, but a crappy one for that matter. I reckon the vast majority of people are able to tell the difference between the two words IE8 and IE9 to download and install the latter by error. To put the less confident computer user mind to rest, rolling back IE installation is not a big task IMHO. Believe me, Microsoft didn't release IE8 only a year after IE7 for no good reason. IE9 is not compatible with XP and it won't install on Paul's system anyway so no worries there! While we're talking IE9 and browsers, I am really looking forward for Jaws to support IE9 and Firefox 4 too. I am going to upgrade to Windows 7 hopefully soon and one of the very main reasons is to install IE9! I hear Microsoft after all these years is finally releasing a browser that worth installing *smile*. Firefox 4 is very neat and speedy browser users are saying. A real jump from version 3.x. So come on FS, get your acct together and release that patch we've been promised.

My reason for this is that, 1. I said that I was having the same problems as you, this and still is I was using IE 8 so Dont think it would work. 2. My 2nd reason why I strongly don't advise you to upgrade yet is because I'm not sure but if you do you might jump from IE7 to IE9 in which case the latter isn't fully supportive with Jaws until FS brings out a fix for it. Just things to bare in mind. I would hate you to upgrade and find that you jumped from IE 7 to 9 with out knowing and then experienced problems. However saying all this you might just go from IE 7 to 8 with out any problems. In which case by all means go ahead! Good Luck with whatever you decide to do!
