Hi Kevin,
Since my previous post, I've realised that it's only when you open a link to
listen live, rather than to listen again, on the BBC website that there's a
problem. I think this is because for listening live, the bbc use an embedded
realplayer, rather than the usual flash player. This makes sense, as the
talking computers website have had exactly this problem.
As dorothy has said, you'll need the latest version of realplayer, which is
11.1.1, and a link to the download is:

Once that is installed, you'll still have to use the work around of turning off
virtual pc cursor mode, as described in my previous post.
David.

Hi Kevin,
This problem occurs when running IE8 and Jaws, but doesn't occur when running
Window Eyes or NVDA, so it is an incompatibility between Jaws and IE8. There is
a work around until the problem is fixed: before you open a link which opens
the iplayer, switch off the virtual pc cursor by pressing
insert + z. So on a page which contains a listen live link:
1. press insert + z, to switch off the virtual pc cursor.
2. press insert + f7 for the links list, and open the listen live link.
3. a new window should open and start playing.
4. you can press insert + z to turn the virtual pc cursor back on.
David.
