If you are running JAWS 7, do not update to IE8. IE 8 requires the last
version of JAWS 9 or later to work.
With respect to your IE7 challenges, try the following:
1. Launch IE in no add-ons mode. This is on the start menu under
accessories. If things work, it is likely some add-on youhave installed is
causing your problems.
2. Launch the standard IE and open Manage Add-ons. This is under
tools:enable/disable add-ons/manage add-ons.
3. Disable all the add-ons and then selectively enable those you want.

You could upgrade to IE 8, but I would not recommend doing that at this
point, since it still has some glitches that need to be worked out before it
is really ready for prime time. I would also not recommend installing an
earlier version of IE from one of the third-party IE collections that are
widely available. If you have trouble with IE now, just try installing one
of the earlier versions of IE from one of these free software suites.
You'll be ready to chuck your computer out the window. Like you, I was
experiencing frequent crashes with IE 7, so I decided to download one of
those free IE collections. It completely screwed up my IE favorites and RSS
feeds, so I had to uninstall it and perform a system restore to getIE 7
working normally again. So before you give up on IE 7, try doing a system
restore. If you want to try IE 8, be sure you download it directly from the
MS web site and not some third-party site.

Hi list: I am running XP and jaws 7. Several days ago I I inadvertently
downloaded the Spy Protect 2009 virus. What a nightmare. A friend used
Smit Fraud Fix to remove it and with little problem. However, since then
Internet Explorer (Version: 7.0.5730.11) has been crashing frequently. I
was wondering if I should attempt to replace it or perhaps run a System
Restore. If I decide to replace it what is the best version to download,
from where should I download it, and what problems should I expect. Also
what preperation should I make before the download and installation. Any
advice would be appreciated. Kathye
