Hi list,

 

I am running a Samsung netbook with Windows 7 starter, the latest build of JAWS 
12 and have recently updated to Internet Explorer 9.

 

I am having three main problems:-

 

Firstly, Sometimes when IE loads a web page I find that I am not in the virtual 
viewer at all and if I do control home JAWS says "top of file" and I'm either 
focused on what seems to be a tool bar or alternatively the address bar.  
Sometimes when this happens, it doesn't matter how many times I tab or press F6 
I still can't get focus to the main web page and hence the virtual viewer.  If 
this is the case the only thing I have found to do is to close IE and reopen it 
again.  Does anyone know what's going on here and what I can do, if anything, 
to prevent this?

 

Secondly, on some web pages I am finding IE particularly slow to navigate with 
JAWS.  Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to rectify this?

 

Finally, the first time I loaded IE9, I was advised the notification bar 
required my attention.  On pressing alt-n to gain focus to it the problem was 
that it wanted me to choose the add ons I required.  I did this and pressed the 
"done" button.  Unfortunately, every so often I still get notified that the 
notification bar requires my attention for the same reason.  As there are never 
any further add ons for me to enable or disable can anyone please tell me why 
this is happening and what I can do to stop it?

 

Any help with any of these issues would be gratefully received.

 

Andrew
