Hi:
I know some of you are reluctant to remove your MacAfee and install AVG (free), but honestly MacAfee is a real bummer with JAWS. I purchased this Gateway in May and MacAfee came bundled with it, I removed it and have little if any trouble with it since.
HTH,

Hi, I'm new to the group. I hope I can help others here, and get lots of help myself. I've alrady in the day I've been a member, learned so much, so thanks.

I had this same problem, and found that if I went in to Outlook express/Outlook, and changed the message format back to HTML it fixed it. Some how it had changed to plain text I think. I assume this is McCaffee making the messages safer.

HTH

I have this problem on my computer. I have had to reformat several times and have had three hard drives. I received a message from MacAfee stating that it needed to be reinstalled as it was corrupted. After installing it, I could never go to a link from a message again. I have JFW 7.0 and XP Home with IE 6.

This is the computer I purchased in June of this year which has been nothing but trouble.

Subject: Activating a link while in an open message


Possibly after the installation of I/E 7, I am no longer able to connect to a website through a link in an open e-mail message. Html mode is checked and when I click on a link by pressing enter, the hard drive moves and it appears as if the website is trying to open but after about 5 seconds I am still in the e-mail with the cursor positioned on the link.
I have found a work-around for this problem as follows:
I route jaws to PC and do a double left mouse click and the link functions correctly by opening the appropriate website. I miss the ability to not simply be able to click on a link to go the desired website. On the screen my wife tells me that a little square of dotted lines forms around the link to be opened and the little hand disappears. This of course means nothing to me or to her but I provide this tidbit of info just in case it means something to somebody as an explanation of what may be happening here. I have spoken with some teckie folks and they too have been stimied by this one so if anyone on the list has any ideas, they would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance and a very happy New Years!
