Hi all,

Someone called me a little while ago to ask what I knew about accessing the controls in NetFlix videos online. They have gone to using Microsoft's Silverlight as the web application player for these movies. Is anyone using it successfully with JAWS 10 and Internet Explorer 8? From what he reported it sounded as if he'd gotten Silverlight downloaded and installed correctly as his sighted next door neighbor could make the thing work with the mouse. My web search resulted in lots of information about the upcoming accessibility of it, but the posts were from Spring 2008. Also, I saw something on the W3C.ORG site about editing an INI file, which sounded like it was in JAWS (version 9 was the one they were discussing), but I wasn't quickly able to identify where that file lives. I don't have much time for digging into this for the next few days, but reading helpful posts would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Sue B.
