I can't read this page, can you?I eventually got a message about a script which 
was causing Internet Explorer to run slowly and that if I continued my computer 
might become unresponsive.

  HI Damon

  I have just tried accessing this site with jaws 8 and IE6.  I get some piano 
music and a message asking if I want to continue as the site is not under 
internet explorers control.  If I say yes, the actual site won't read but the 
music keeps going.  I think it would do eventualy, but its a memory issue I 
think, or something in that line.  I have similar problems on the channel 4 
sites these days, but jaws 8 usually deals with them faster than seven.

  It doesn't effect anything else once I get out of the site, but you may think 
that it is still effecting you as the site itself takes ages to go once you 
have exited it.

  Hope this is of help.

  Audrey

    Hi. Are you feeling helpful and brave this morning? 

    I'm using jaws 8 with IE6 on Windows XP here 

    I wanted to read a blog entry about a web social inclusion techie 
conference I was interested in. it's on the Guardian website, so a well known 
and popular site. But I think the website has some dynamic content on it that 
is utterly stuffing up my JAWS. Being as I have these kinds of problems a lot, 
I'm really interested to see if you can read the following website without any 
trouble: 

    http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/digitalcontent/category/conferences/ 



    Note that it affects my jaws so badly that I can't easily leave internet 
explorer. But when I do, jaws performance is severely impaired when using other 
applications such as Outlook that I normally use without problem. 

    The good news is that simply turning jaws off and turning it back on again 
brings it back to new. But I still can't read the page I pasted in above. 

    Any help or thoughts on what is on this page that is stopping me from 
raeding it most appreciated. 

    Oh and I should note that here at work I can't install IE7, I am stuck with 
JAWS 8 for a few more months until jaws 9 is rolled out to the network, and I'm 
most definitely tied to XP for a while longer. So suggesting I move to IE7 is 
currently a definite no. 

    A wider question here is, if you also can't read this website - and it's 
only a blog - do you have similar reactions from your screenreader on other 
sites? And are you just getting a bit sick at the number of modern websites 
that jaws can't cope with lately as web science moves on a-pace. 

    Thanks so much. 

    .Damon
