Hi To The Techno Masters,
I'm ashamed to admit my computing skills are extremely limited; In that I 
do Email, create legal documents in MS Word, and surf the Internet 
some.  The dang flashes you mention are worthy of a good law suit.  To bad 
it would not stick in Court.  At any rate, I would very much like to know 
how to prevent them as a couple of you fine Gentlemen have indicated is 
possible.  Would you mind writing me off list and give me the where to key 
strokes to turn them off, or uninstall them and/or remove them?  I'm 
running Windows XP Professional, Jaws 5.1 and Internet Explorer 6.1; All of 
which are updated with Microsoft's latest updates.  Any help will be 
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
