Hello All, And a happy 2011 to everyone. Pauline, hold off on upgrading from IE7 to IE8 until you upgrade to a newer version of JAWS. I don't think JAWS8 will work with IE8. JAWS 12 is expensive, but NCBI will cover 25% of the cost (iIrc) and you can reclaim the VAT by filling in the VAT 61A form from revenue.ie... or you could learn to surf using NVDA, good luck, John
