you should be able to uninstall IE8 and it will automatically role you
back to IE7

Hey there,
 
Jaws 8.0 most definitely DOES NOT WORK with IE 8. I learnt this the hard
way, as I updated my IE and found that you can't do anything at all with
it. It doesn't read the page and the menus are inaccessible as well.
 
So if you're running Jaws 8 and have no intention of updating it, stay
far away from IE 8. I believe there was something on Microsoft's site
that jaws 9 or higher works with IE 8 though so go for that if you want.
 
Personally, I find that while IE 8 works fine with jaws 10, it loads
webpages slower and the refresh shortcut (f5) doesn't always work...
sometimes I have to navigate away from the page and come back to it in
order to get a refreshed version.
 
Hope this helps... if I knew then what I know now... I would've stuck
with IE 7.
 
-Marc
