Doing an uninstall of JAWS is one helluva risk for a blind person who can’t 
count on sighted help.
Is it even advisable?

Folks,

When I updated to the latest version via the update feature, I suffered most of 
the problems described here and in earlier posts.  I uninstalled JAWS and did a 
clean install of JAWS 12.0.1158, and have suffered NO problems; internet 
explorer or Excel.

With my new computer I find Internet Explorer 8 less and less responsive. 3 
different sites I’ve had to install FireFox to even use them.  I won’t install 
the new JAWS update b/c of its issues with Excel, which I still have to use at 
least for now. 
Can I use Internet Explorer 9 with Jaws 12.0.525?

try windows key plus E then - this should open explorer in windows 7.  If you 
aren't already familiar with the explorer interface, it would be worth taking 
some time to become familiar.

I did window key plus 2 and did not get anything. I did press key and got to 
the search box and type window explore and only  saw things from my documents.

Try this:

hit Windows key plus 2 to go to Windows Explorer.
Locate on your hard drive a file with an extension similar to the kind of file 
you are opening in IE 9 (such as .wav, .mp3, .wma, etc).  Right click this file 
with the Jaws curser (brings up the context menu).  Scroll down to the "open 
with sub menu" option.  Right arrow to open this menu.  Then select the option 
"choose default program..."

From there, select WinAmp as the desired default program for that file type.  


If you don't know the exact file type you are trying to play through IE 9 - 
then you may need to set Winamp as the default for several different file types 
before it works as desired.

I hope this helps,
Bill

Do not get the message of opening IE 9 and going to application and select 
winamp.
