Hi Jim, it depends what the message is asking you to do. By the sound of it it's asking you to activate, remove one of your add-ons or something along these lines. Once you are focused on the IE message try to gather what the message says using the tab key or the virtual cursor and do what is required. Sorry I can't be more specific because I don't know what the message actually says.

Hi List, I keep getting an irritating message when I go into IE, it says "the notification area needs your attention, press alt and the letter n to access this area". When I go into the notification area using the suggested keys, I get something about add on's and a remind me later button and cancel. My question is how can I turn this off permenatley? as hitting remind me later just brings the message back after a day or two. Hope someone can give me some idea how to stop this message coming back. Jim
