or the permanent way:
Open Internet Explorer, there's no need to be on line.
Open config manager, insert + 6 (on the number row of the main keyboard.)
alt key to get to menus, set options,.
Arrow down to html options
Press Enter, then ctrl + tab until you get to the graphics page.
Tab down until you find "Ignore Flash on Web pages" Check this with space
bar, push enter.
Save with ctrl + S
then exit.
It's not as difficult as it sounds.
Hi again Hazel,
If you would just like to try turning flash off temporarily, press JawsKey+v
then press f until you hear "flash movies on", press the space bar to turn
it off then tab to close and press enter.
This will only last until you change to another window.
To make the change permanent, press JawsKey+6 on the top row when in
internet explorer,
press alt+s then h and you should hear "HTML options",
now, press control+shift+tab to back tab to the "misc" tab,
until you hear "ignore flash on web pages" and press the space bar to check
the box,
tab until you reach the ok button and press enter
now press alt+f4 to close the configuration manager and opt to save the
changes when asked.
That's it.
HTH,
Phil Medway.

Hi there,
Killing flash seems a good idea! How do I go about it without landing
myself into serious problems?
Best wishes,
Hazel.

Just to add, I turned Flash off in the JAWS Config manager and it's the best thing I ever did as they are a real pain.

Hi Hazel... my usual incomplete reply. but it's probably all to do with
this Flash thing. It's a program that shows movie clips, and can be a
damned nuisance. A lot of sites are financed by adverts, and these often
take the form of pop-up windows, and if they contain a Flash movie, it can
take forever to clear. One thing you could try is pushing ctrl + tab,
which
will push the window you want to the top, instead of the Flash thingy.
There is also the option to kill Flash in the Jaws configuration manager,
but I won't go into this now.

Hi The List!
I came accross add-ons for the first time to day. I was trying to connect
to the internet when it anounced that there was no links found. I did get
some sighted help to disable the add-ons as it silenced my jaws. But now
I
am wondering if I will need these add-ons in the future. What is a
add-on?
What is it used for? What is a Macro? and what is a Flash player? Any
information will help me understand what is going on with my computer!
And
why do Add-ons pop up?
Best wishes,
Hazel.
