[gui-talk] mystified by recent page-loading display

[Joel Deutsch]

Hi all,
First of all, I'm using Jaws 8, Windows XP Home, and Internet Explorer 6, if 
any of that happens to matter. Now here's what I'm puzzled about. Only 
recently, when many Web pages load, I seem to get an intermediate screen 
that I have to click off with a convenient Close button so that I can access 
the actual Web page.

Now, this may sound like some sort of ordinary pop-up that I'm describing, 
although one with an unusually handy way to exit it. But I have IE set to 
suppress pop-ups, which it faithfully does. I have tried to explore this 
screen using both my virtual cursor and then, when arrowing one way or 
another turned up nothing for Jaws to read, with my Jaws cursor. But all I 
can find in this area before I click it off are the words RSS Feed Available 
and the Close button.

Now since I installed Jaws 8, a quirky version if ever I encountered one, 
RSS feed availability has awls been announced as most web pages load, but 
only along with other information that Jaws speaks as a page loads. Frames, 
links, and so forth. So I don't know what the connection is to RSS feed 
notification. I only know that that is the only text I can find on these 
screens.

Last, it only started a week or two ago, not immediately upon my installing 
Jaws 8. I haven't changed anything in my IE options menu, or made any other 
changes I can think of.

Anybody know what this could be? It's really annoying.
