What I mean is I am running Windows XP Home and Jaws 7.00.135u and I am still
running Internet Explorer 6. I haven't gotten brave enough to install Internet
Explorer 7 yet since everyone seems to be having trouble with Internet Explorer
7. So what i did was use these settings that allows me to access things like
Norton Buttons and other internet Sites with buttons that Jaws don't show
unless and untill I did the Optimizing Jaws.

John,
I'm confused. Are you saying the settings you responded to before don't
apply to other versions of JAWS? I know they apply to 6.2. And are you saying
the settings you copy below relate to later versions of JAWS? Please
clarify.Jaws 7.00.135u or Jaws 7.0 amnd Windows XP home edition.
