Not sure if this might help or not. But I find that when I do this fairly often, Jaws perks up. I'm using IE6 and can't remember what's after its decimal point. But it's some 6 version. Every once in awhile, especially if you're not interested in saving temporary internet files and various temporary cookies, open Internet Explorer. press alt plut t to get into Tools. Then press o for options. You'll be taken to a series of dialogs which you can tab your way through, activating yes or no, or checking or unchecking things to delete cookies, temporary internet files, and history. A lot of material collects in these that we usually don't need. The last one is the history. Be sure after you finish here that you tab several times to okay and press the space bar. Hope this helps.
