I just went to that site with no problems with jfw 6.0 and unlike a few 
people seem to, I have no problem at all with the find.  Also never have 
seen your other issue either here. Maybe it's a flash issue?  I don't 
install macromedia flash player on my computer so I wonder if that's 
related.

Hi list,
I have looked, albeit not exhaustively, at recent messages and these
questions have not been addressed. My apologies in advance if these matters
have already been discussed.
I  have tried upgrading jaws 3 times since v5.0062 and each time the
problems seem to increase for me. V6.0 has been the most buggy and the
following 3 issues are the most frustrating.
1. Jaws reliably crashes IE when I go to the website of my online broker:
http://www.optionsxpress.com/
I get the error: "Internet explorer has experienced a problem and needs to
shut down." If I don't dismiss the error message immediately, Jaws becomes
very unstable and crashes the computer. This reliably happens on 3
computers, all running xp Pro. If I shut down v6.0 and start v5.0062 before
entering the URL, everything is fine. Given that my accounts are access
through this website and that, in my opinion, it is the best online
brokerage for derivative trading, I am not willing to simply use another
online trading service. Does anybody have an idea of what might be
happening and does this URL crash IE with jaws v6.0 on your computer? The
next 2 problems are less reliable, e.g. they don't occur every time with
each of the computers, which makes it harder to diagnose but they seem to
always happen on my laptop under v6.0.
2. Many webpages become "stuck," so I cannot go back with the alt+left
arrow or enter another URL in the address bar. Once again, if I unload 6.0
and start up 5.0062, the problem disappears.
3. The find command in IE using 6.0 doesn't seem to work correctly. When I
search for something, e.g. the word "description" on an Ebay product
webpage, it claims there are no instances of this word on the page. But,
the word is in fact there and searched for and found without problem by
v5.0062. What gives?

If anybody can suggest anything I can try in terms of settings or other
tweaks, I would be appreciative. I would like to use some of the features
of the latest JFW product, and it seems silly that I need to continually
use a version of the program that is 3 or more iterations older than the
current version but it is the only thing that I have found to work.

Thanks in advance,
Nick
