I didn’t disable anything. You may find that disabling Flash actually turns out 
to be a bad idea in the end.

Hi.

No need to get back to me on this one, I think I found the solution!

I disabled the Shockwave Flash player from Adobe and that seems to have done 
the trick.

Sorry for bringing this to the list before checking out this possibility.

  Hi List.

  I've started to encounter more and more websites that will launch video 
content the minute they load, see 

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/sportsday/live/

  for an example of what I'm talking about.

  This obviously can make listening to JAWS a bit of a problem and I'm simply 
looking for a way to stop this from happening. Does anyone have a solution?

  I've checked in the Multi Media options in IE and there's nothing there about 
videos, sounds yes, videos no. 

  Thanks.

  Darran
