[jaws-uk] Problems with Jaws 7 and IE6

Hello,

I am using Jaws 7.00.135U on two machines, one running Windows 2000 
and the other Windows XP Home.  Both machines have IE6 installed.

I have noticed that it is necessary to refresh the screen in my 
browser far more with Jaws 7 than with any previous version of 
Jaws.  If I open a new page, Jaws frequently doesn't read the 
content of the page until I either refresh the screen, go into and 
then out of the Jaws cursor, or alt+tab away from the browser and 
back again.

I have also noticed that, if a dialog comes up on the screen within 
the browser while using Jaws 7, Jaws will not read it, and in fact 
the whole machine seems to freeze until I press alt+F4 to get rid of 
the dialog.  If I go into the Jaws cursor and click on the link 
which brings up the dialog, I am able to read the contents of the 
dialog while still in the Jaws cursor and act upon it.

Has anyone experienced problems like these in Jaws 7, and if so, 
have you found a way around them?  I have reverted to Jaws 6.2 for 
the time being, which works so much better.

Thanks,

Caroline.
