Hi all,

Having read the various comments on updating Adobe, I am wondering if it's 
Adobe hwich is giving me grief at the moment with the internet closing down on 
me when I atempt to open links within certain sites.

Also, is it easy to update Adobe.

On my list of files, I only have one reference to Adobe 10.

I currently use Windows XP with JAWS 9.

Paul.

  The advice to update Flash is perfectly sound, Adobe are updating like fury 
because they are major targets for security exploits so it is always a good 
idea where you know the site uses Flash to update when you encounter problems.

   

  Secondly, a small point.  The BBC site probably said you have "JavaScript" 
disabled.  This is not the same thing as JAVA and therefore if you update the 
latter it will not change anything for the better on the BBC site.  The reason 
JavaScript comes into it is because it is the code that is required to start 
the Flash content.

  PS.  I install the latest Flash when prompted to do so, which happens every 
couple of weeks or so.  It updates without the necessity of visiting the site, 
but if you do need to, it's

    Me neither.  I'm using JAWS 7 and IE 6 - not exactly the latest software!  
Don't know about the picture, but sound is working fine.

solution.

        All,

         

        Since the BBC changed the IPlayer a few weeks ago, I haven't been able 
to watch any TV programmes.  It tells me I need to enable Java, and there is a 
help topic to tell me how.  I have followed the instructions, and Java 
scripting is enabled, but I still can't play the programmes.

         

        I recently received an update to Java, so made sure that was installed 
before trying the IPlayer, but it has made no difference.

         

        Has anyone else encountered problems with the new IPlayer, and can 
anyone suggest what else I need to do?

         

        Thanks,

         

        Ken
