I spent two weeks communicating back and forth with FS support about a problem 
with MSN moving the first word of my messages to the end of the message when I 
sent it. Eventually they told me to call my local distributor. I don’t think 
they knew what the problem was and it’s still not resolved.

I have talked to FS support 2 times for this problem and I wish that I could  
tell you all the reason for this happening.  I could not follow the chain at 
all.  It was the biggest amount of doubletalk I think I have ever put up with.

  It's not a focus problem. Even when I use CTRL+f6, I get back to the IE 
window, but when I use the arrow keys, there's nothing there.

    Bill,

    Not using Hotmail, but I've noted several occasions where opening a web 
page on IE7 and using JAWS 12 results in a message to use Alt+Tab to switch. 
I've seen other report similar situations on this list, as well.

    Somehow JAWS 12 in conjunction with IE7 is losing focus when the page 
opens, requiring us to use various methods (F6, Insert+Esc, F5, Alt-Tab, 
Screaming) to get JAWS to focus on the web page.

    Doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to know that it's very 
frustrating. So I wouldn't consider your use of the favorites to be the source 
of the problem.

    Never saw this with JAWS 11.

      I'm using JAWS11, IE7, and Windows XP. Since yesterday, when I try 
clicking on my favorite in IE7 for hotmail, IE7 just stalls, and doesn't open 
the hotmail page.

      If I put in the address:
      mail.live.com, the window opens correctly, and I can then navigate to my 
inbox.

      Once I had done this, I tried replacing my favorite in IE7, but this was 
of no help.

      When I tried using the new favorite, the same thing happened. The window 
opens correctly, however, if I enter the address manually.

      Does anyone have the same trouble? And does anyone know what the actual 
problem is with IE7 and JAWS?

      Thank you.
