Hello, I'm about to go on vacation using a laptop which I hardly ever use
for browsing the internet. Because I don't like the way Jaws 10 lays out the
internet, I'm still using Jaws 7. This laptop is the only computer which is
using internet explorer 7. My desktop computer is using IE6, because
nothing's broken. When I type in search fields using Jaws 7 and IE7, many
letters are missing. This only occurs in internet explorer. If I turn Jaws
off and type in the search field, I can type as fast as I want. When I turn
Jaws back on, the text is just how I want it. However, as soon as I delete
and type again in the form, several letters are missing. If I switch to some
other application with Jaws, such as Notepad, there are no problems. Is
there some IE setting with Jaws I need to change? Configuration Manager has
config files for IE versions 4, 5, and six, but no IE7. When I'm in IE7 and
bring up configuration manager, it wants to create a new config file. Any
suggestions to fix this typing problem?
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
