Hi James,
EI8 is still very much in Beta, and they do say it's not yet
fully compatible. It is intended as a release for
developers of web sites.
See the following from the Release notes at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949787
George.
Assistive technology
Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is not yet fully compatible with
some Assistive Technology applications, including JAWS,
Window-Eyes, and ZoomText. Menu and Web content reading may
not function correctly.
To enable Assistive Technology programs to perform correctly
before updates are available, you may follow these steps
when you install Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1.
Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network
more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious
software such as viruses. We do not recommend this
workaround but are providing this information so that you
can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use
this workaround at your own risk.
1.
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008,
disable Protected Mode. To do this, click Internet Options
on the Tools menu. On the Security tab, click to clear the
Enable Protected Mode option for each of the following
zones:
*
Internet
*
Local intranet
*
Trusted Sites
*
Restricted
We recommend that you browse only to Web sites that you
trust while Protected Mode is disabled.
2.
Install Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1.
3.
After installation is complete, add the following registry
entries. To do this, follow these steps:
a.
In the Run box, type Regedit.exe and then press ENTER.
b.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
c.
In the right-pane, right-click the mouse, point to New, and
then click DWORD Value.
d.
Type PPT, and then press ENTER.
e.
In the right-pane, right-click the mouse, point to New, and
then click DWORD Value.
f.
Type LCIE_FTW, and then press ENTER.
Note The values in both these registry entries are
configured to 0 when you perform steps 3c through 3f.
4.
Start Internet Explorer 8. The browser prompts you for
configuration information when you start it for the first
time.
You are advised to review the "Removal information" section
before you install Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1. Uninstalling
Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 will revert to the earlier
version of Internet Explorer, and the Assistive Technology
program will perform as before.
