Hi David,
Internet Explorer 8 and 9 have a notification bar. This bar pops up when
either,
A. A Popup is blocked.
B. A download request is made.
C. A plug in wants to install itself onto your computer.
The last one might explain why you're not hearing audio. the plug in
that's needed to play the file is asking to be installed and you're not
seeing it, as well as the other alerts.
When the notification bar has an alert there's normally a noise that's
played. like a chime or some such. Pressing and holding ALT, and tapping
the letter N will jump focus into this area. You can then use your arrow
keys and return key to navigate/select.
A handy shortcut if you want to save a file is to hit alt, s when the
alert sound is played. Without having to jump into the download alert, in
the notification bar.
Regards,
Barry.

Subject: [access-uk] INTERNET EXPLORER AND DOWNLOADS
Hello,
I am hoping that some one on the list can help me with a download issue I
have with Internet Explorer 8. I have an old Windows XP machine and I
have recently installed Internet Explorer 8 but there is something within
IE8 that is preventing me from downloading software and sound files. I
have been trying to get BBC Player to play some files today but something
is preventing the files from downloading. A couple of weeks ago I tried
to download the Sygate software but something prevented the files being
downloaded. I think it must be something to do with the IE8 security
settings or something in Security Centre. I would appreciate any help.
