Hi Bill, from what I have read, there can be problems with JFW 7.1 and
accessing and using combo boxes in Internet Explorer 7.

Can somebody give me a brief outline of "issues" with this version and
JAWS 7.1?
If this has been covered, off-list is fine.
Thanks in advance.

Hi to the list.
Charles Opperman of Microsoft has written the following message to the
GuiTalk mailing list regarding the unwise practice of turning off
automatic updates and the compatibility of Internet Explorer 7.
True enough, it is not compatible with all current versions of all
screen readers, but you will be prompted as to whether or not you want
this specific update.

This is awful advice and is ignorant of the facts. Yes, the new
Internet Explorer 7 will be offered as a high-priority update. If
Windows Update is set to automatically download and install high
priority updates, then the user will be prompted to install IE7. There
will be three choices, "Install", "Don't Install", and "Ask Me Later."
The important thing here is that if you don't want it, you don't have to
have install it. To be clear, IE7 will not automatically be installed
unless the user confirms their choice. The reason it is being offered
as a high priority update (as opposed to a normal update) is because a
slew of new security features. Microsoft wants to ensure that as many
people as possible are made aware of the new version and can choose to
install it.
When installed, all the users' preferences are retained, including
favorites, cookies, search engine preference and many others.
An important caveat is that computers managed by IT departments at
larger organizations can force the update if they choose to as part of a
corporate-wide policy.
Please do not turn off the automatic installation of high priority
updates in Windows Update. This is an important means of preventing the
spread of viruses and other rouge programs over the Internet.
For more information on the availability of IE7 through Windows Update,
including a review of the choices mentioned above, visit the following
