Hi Léonie
Thanks for your reply - I have already rolled back to IE7 as for most of the
time when I tried using sites I got the *internet explorer cannot display the
webpage* message so it wasn't much use really. My problem seems to have
righted itself at present.
Mandy.

I'm afraid I'd urge caution with installing any application that's
still in beta. The purpose of a beta release is to give people the opportunity
to test a piece of software, on the understanding that it is not the finished
product and that it may still contain bugs.
I'd recommend rolling back to IE7, then taking another look at the
problems you were experiencing. Are you sure for example that the browser was
the problem?
One possible way to find out would be to install another type of
browser, perhaps Firefox. If the links work in Firefox, but not in IE7, you may
have narrowed the problem down to a particular browser.
This approach is slightly different from installing IE8, as a browser
like Firefox 3 is a finished product. In other words, you shouldn't get the
kind of bugs you might expect from IE8 at this stage.
Something else to try would be to send the links to other people. If
they too can't get the links to work, then it's possible that the link is at
fault, not the browser.
Léonie.

I've just installed IE8 beta version is this a bad idea?
I am using Jaws 10.
I'd been having some issues where certain links weren't working and even
when I copied them into the browser they didn't work - I installed IE7 hoping
it would right itself somehow - it did for five minutes then reverted back but
when looking I'd seen IE8 so thought I'd install it.
there's a lot of new stuff and I don't yet know how Jaws copes although I
can access my usual sites and it seems very fast.
Mandy.
