Hi David, What version of JFW are you running? We could trya tandum session if your version of JAWS is v12. That way I could remote into your machine and see exactly what is blocking IE from playing media and downloading. I'm in the house all day tomorrow, so if you want to give it a go give mea the time and I'll happily phone you and get the tandum session set up. Regards, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Mann Sent: 22 January 2012 17:36 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: INTERNET EXPLORER AND DOWNLOADS Barry, I took your advice regarding my download problems. I tried entering ALT N but nothing happened. I tried ALT S and this gave me a short menu but I do not know what option to take in this menu. I tried to listen to something on BBC Iplayer but was told I needed Flash player 10 or later. I have been trying all day to download the flash player but all I get this that annoying noise which tells me it won't let me download something. I wonder if you have any more advice. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Toner" <barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 8:51 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: INTERNET EXPLORER AND DOWNLOADS > Hi David, > > Internet Explorer 8 and 9 have a notification bar.
