[nvda] Re: OT: login on pages of the European Commission crashes IE

You are generalizing from your experience. I have found IE6 to be very stable. On some web sites, it doesn't work quickly with screen-readers, evidently because of a code conflict between the MSAA code of the screen-reader and the page but it seldom crashes here. I generally use it, though on pages where the slowness problem exists, I use Firefox. However, I did find one site, the Shoutcast site, where Firefox is almost unuseable with JAWS. I don't recall if I tested it with Window-eyes. I haven't used IE7 but if it is as bad as you claim in general and not just in your experience, you'd have seen unending complaints since it came out. I have seen nothing out of the ordinary in terms of negative comments and complaints.

ie is quite finicky.
I use ie6 because this is xp, wouldn't go any higher.
Although the web is changing.
ie will work and then it won't and then it will.
The only good news is that I can actually run my life without having to go online that much for now.

I assume its been tried with Firefax, as IE crashes at the slightest poke in the ribs in my experience on some sites.

Subject: [nvda] OT: login on pages of the European Commission crashes IE
Hi all, as this is a bit off topic, please direct any comments or suggestions to voy44@xxxxxxxxx 
A friend has problems on many EU institution websites.
Using IE7 and JAWS or NVDA, she tries to input her data, name and password, and upon that, IE crashes, giving the standard error reporting message "IE has detected a problem and needs to be closed.". It seems to affect both JAWS and NVDA, I do not know whether she tried it without any speech loaded and a sighted person watching the screen. She tried many things, from enabling and disabling coockies, playing around with internet zone security settings, but nothing so far. I know this sounds rather vague, but I cannot give out any address to try this, since this would require disclosing user name and password, sorry for that. 
Is there anything one might try to solve this annoiing problem?
FF 3 is quite new to her, and she doesn't feel very comfortable using it.

Best regards,
Nermin
