Friends: We had some threads about the conflict between jaws 6 and nytimes.com resulting in IE 6 crashing. I thought this was an interesting twist. I opened IE 6 then decided to check email before browsing. so ie6 is running in the background. A friend sent me an email into which he had pasted a nytimes.com op-ed piece into the body of the email. As I read the piece in the email body, I hit a link to "skip to next paragraph" and got the nytimes crash. When I said no to the report to Microsoft question, I was able to read the rest of the piece in the email, but when I tried to return to IE 6 which was running in background, it was gone, having been closed by the crash. Thought this was an interesting twist. running jaws 6.1 and home xp sp2. Stan
