Thank you Douglas that does the trick! That is easier then how I was doing it. BUT, I'll would still like to know why Jaws does not automatically read web pages. Hopefully someone know shy.

Then JAWS will read normally when the screen is complete. If I forget, I just go ahead and hit F6 until I'm in the main screen. Slightly more cumbersome than IE6, but quickly got used to it. --- HTH --- ----- Original Message ----- From: MarkF <mailto:mfurness@xxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 2:50 PM Subject: IE 7 I am totally confused. Since updating to IE 7 from 6, most web pages no longer read automatically. The web page is ther most of the time but sometimes it is blank. Jaws states the url several times but does nodt go on any further. I must tab several times till I reach the web page or route the PC to the Jaws cursor which is in the window. WindowEyes does the same thing on my wife's computer. Therefore, are there IE 7 settings in order to have Jaws run properly? I have checked TSN and nothing has come up. Thank you for all your help. What is the point of standing up for rights in a world where few stand up for their responsibilities? Your rights will do you little good unless others are responsible.
