[blindlaw] Off Topic? JAWS and Internet Explorer 7

[David Andrews]

Steve is right, if you uninstall Internet 
Explorer 7 then you IE six is restored.

JAWS has come out with a patch to 7.1 to fix a 
couple things, if you have build 500 you are 
fine, and can get it with auto update.  Also, 
version 8, released about a week and a half ago 
works with IE7 just fine.  I have been using them here for about a week.

IE behaves somewhat differently, but this has nothing to do with JAWS.

If you have 7.1 build 500 or 8.0 you can feel safe in the download.
