Warning about IE 7.0
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 15:38:55 +0000
 The rumor mill has Internet Explorer version seven getting released by the
 end of this month.  This update will also make some changes to Outlook
 Express.  Microsoft will be releasing this upgrade as a critical patch to
 Windows.  If your computer is set to automatically download and install
 critical updates, you could turn on your computer some morning and find
 that
 you've been updated.  The current versions of most assistive technology
 products are not fully compatible with Internet Explorer 7.
 One recommendation is to set the automatic updates feature to "Notify
 me but don't automatically download or install" or arrow down one more time
to "turn
off automatic updates" until you feel more confident about this process.
These options can be found by hitting the Windows Key to bring up the start
menu,
arrow down to "settings", hit enter which brings up the"  Control Panel,
enter again and arrow down to "Automatic Updates,"  enter and tab to radio
buttons,
arrow to the desired option and tab to apply and OK. You'll be able
to view a list of
 available updates as they are released, just make sure not to choose the
 Internet Explorer 7 update yet.
 A few of the most common products:
 Internet Explorer 7 turns on "Clear Type" by default, which may cause some
 video corruption for large print users.  This can be turned off in the
 Internet Options, Advanced Tab.
 ZoomText users:  Ai Squared working on ZoomText version 9.04.  This will
 be
 a free update to users of the version 9 product.  Version 9.04 will be
 compatible with Internet Explorer 7.  The release is expected in November.
 You can check for the update in ZoomText by going to "Check for Program
 Updates" in the ZoomText programs help menu.
 Jaw's Users:  JAWS 7.0 and earlier do not support Internet Explorer 7.
 JAWS
 7.10 is recommended for testing, but Jaw's will not be fully optimized for
 Internet Explorer 7 until the release of Jaw's 8.0.
 Magic Users:  Version 9.50 and later can be tested with Internet Explorer
 7.
 Window-Eyes:  GW Micro has some registry tweaks for some items that they
 have found in IE 7.  Information can be found in the knowledge base
 section
 of their web site.  They detail support for IE 7 in the information
 section
 for beta 6, which can be found at
