Robin,

OK, thanks.  It certainly sounds like we will be safe enough to uninstall
the BT Yahoo Applications at least.

Cheers,

Jamie

Jamie,

This may be the BT Yahoo browser and associated software she's
installed. Do you know if she has IE on the machine?

It also has things like BT Live help, an icon you might see on her
desktop.

It may well be more compatible now with screen readers but I just stayed
with IE on my home pc. Webmail for example has a note saying not to use
the new interface if you're using a screen reader.... 

At home I'm on broadband with the BT wireless home hub and am pretty
sure I have no BT items in my add/remove list.

I also just use MS Messenger4.7 I think?

If I can help more give me a shout and I'll check things out when I get
home tonight.

Robin

Hi all,

Not strictly a Jaws question but I believe that there was some
discussion of
this sort in the past and hope that someone knows the answer....

I'm trying to assist a lady to clean out her system of things that she
isn't
likely to use.  In doing so, I came across an application called "Yahoo
Messenger" which is obviously loading on start up as it is always
present
after booting up.

I am guessing that this is an application that is part of the BT Yahoo
Applications which is listed in the "Add/remove programmes" section of
the
Control Panel.

My problem is that I don't know what else is in the BT Yahoo
Applications.

Does anyone out there know if it is OK to uninstall this application
without
damaging the BT internet connection?  Alternatively, do you know any
easy
way to stop Yahoo Messenger from loading at all - it is not listed in
the
"Start Up" group on the "Programmes" menu.

Thanks in advance,

Jamie
