Natalie, I briefly upgraded to IE7, but found I had to go back to IE6 because I noticed that my OE email was slowing down to an unreasonable crawl. I was using Jaws 7.1 at the time and still am. It would be interesting to know what version of Jaws your friend is using. ----- Original Message ----- From: Natalie To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 10:25 PM Subject: A question regarding Outlook Express and IE 7 Hi everyone, I am actually writing this question on behalf of a friend. I guess today my friend tried to update his Windows Messenger or something and said that after he tried that, when he opens IE and goes to web sites, it won't bring up any links. He also said that when he opens a message in OE, it doesn't say anything except edit so he can't read any of his mail. I have never seen this happen before and don't know if it's actually a JFW problem, but thought I would ask anyway. BTW my friend is using IE version seven and I'm assuming what ever version of OE is with that. Thanks for any help any of you have. Natalie
