  Hello Will,
  Thank you for your FS info, however, my problem is not that I do not know how 
to hit alt and N and get to the information bar, the problem is that there is a 
flaw here and the information bar is not there.
  Take care,
  John

    Version: 5.0 plus

    Category: Internet Explorer

    Question:

    How can I access the Internet Explorer Information Bar introduced in 
Windows XP Service Pack 2?

    Answer:

    Service Pack 2 for Windows XP adds a new feature to Internet Explorer 
called the Information Bar. The Information Bar appears below the address bar 
and
    provides information about downloads, blocked pop-up windows, and other 
activities. This helps you avoid potentially harmful files that you might 
otherwise
    download from the Internet.

    A sound plays when the Information Bar appears. To move to and read the 
Information Bar, press ALT+N. You can then press the SPACEBAR to open the 
Information
    Bar menu. You can press ESC to hide the Information Bar and return to the 
page you were viewing. These are Windows keyboard shortcuts and are not 
exclusive
    to JAWS.

    For a complete description of the Information Bar, refer to the appropriate 
section in the Internet Explorer Help system.

        Hello All,
        As usual, I have an interesting problem. I go to my start menu, then to 
windows update and when the page comes up, it says the page cant be properly 
loaded and i need to install the active x controls and to right the information 
bar and click install active x controls. I hit alt and N to get to the bar, but 
there is not one.
        I have had sighted help look to see and there is no information bar. I 
even had a tech here in Florida use a remote server to access my PC and look at 
it and he too says there is no bar and I just do not know what to do. Can I 
download these controls elsewhere. Help!
        Take care,
        John
