Hi all,

I apologise to the moderators of both the Jaws-uk and access-uk lists for cross posting, however, although the problem I am experiencing is one I feel the members of Access-uk may be able to assist with, I am a Jaws user and therefore may need advice on which Jaws Keystrokes to use to solve the problem, particularly if the person who answers my question on the access-uk list is not a jaws user but knows how to solve the actual problem.

On my Acer laptop running Windows XP home, Office XP and Jaws version 7.10, I have suddenly realised that when I am in Internet Explorer, particularly on the Acer Homepage, but I believe on all websites, I can no-longer use F4 to bring the cursor into the address bar to type in addresses. Nor can I see the address bar at the top of the screen with my limited sight.

I did speak to Tristram at Sight and Sound about this but even though he assisted me in checking the toolbars to see if there were any odd ones appearing, there were not. On Tristram's advice, I also looked at my add remove programs for anything I did not recognise , and the only two things that I could find that looked a bit odd were two of the updates.

One of them was for Microsoft Publisher which I do not have as far as I can make out and the other called Microsoft User-mode driver framework feature pack 1.0(beater 2).

If anyone can give me an idea why I am having the problem I am with IE6 and the address bar I would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.
