Has anyone seen this yet? 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.
