Try downloading firefox.  It mightn't work if you are using an earlier
version of jaws.  I think it needs version 6 or higher.  Firefox has all the
features of IE7.
You could try ringing microsoft to sort out the genuine advantage problim.

Hi folks,

Although  I'm using a legal copy of XP, I don't recall activating it!  I
have automatic updates enabled, and   have received the "Windows Genuine
Advantage" update.

When I recently tried to download Internet Explorer 7, I was returned to
the validation page a couple of times.

Question:  Is it necessary to activate Windows first, in order to  get
beyond the validation screen, and start downloading the latest version of
Internet Explorer?

If I activate Windows, How much information does BG want to know about me,
apart from Name, rank and serial number!

all help welcome.

Thanks,

Eamonn
