Google difficulties - againYou could also try maximising the window and doing a
JAWS screen refresh.

Subject: [access-uk] Google difficulties - again
Hi. I'm still having significant difficulties using Google.
I'm using jaws 12, IE7 and google.co.uk
This morning when I get to the page it says "page has no links" and there is
nothing to arrow up and down to read through. This happens intermittantly
throughout my work day.
For some reason, here at work on the above setup, I don't seem to get the page
which says screenreader users click here to turn off google instant. I don't
believe I'm getting to a page with instant on it.
Sometimes I do happily get to the google home page, I type something in the
search box and then I have to wait and wait as jaws counts down 2%, 3%, 7%, 9%,
etc.
It's a wholly unsatisfactory experience that will ultimately send me to another
search engine.
It's OK about 60% of the time.
I don't want to use the accessible google as that filters pages according to
their accessibility as far as I'm aware. And I don't want some magic digital
robot telling me I should only read pages that pass a certain level of HTML
compliance. That would give me one heck of a skewed view of the worldwide web.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Thanks
Damon Rose
