Please he'd the warning below from the AISquared knowledge base
and do not
upgrade to IE9 on Windows 7 or Vista systems
using either Magic or Zoomtext until serious accessibility
concerns are
resolved.
KB: Warning about the use of ZoomText with Internet Explorer 9
Last updated: March 11 2011
The information in this article applies to:
ZoomText
Internet Explorer 9
Microsoft will officially release Internet Explorer 9 on March
14th, 2011,
which will include support for HTML5, Direct2D and other new
hardware
acceleration technologies designed to increase the speed and
performance of
Internet Explorer. These new technologies bring new challenges
for
accessibility programs like ZoomText. More specifically, these
technologies
will have crippling adverse effects on ZoomText's xFont, tracking
and screen
reading features. Therefore, at this time we are advising
ZoomText users not
to install or upgrade to Internet Explorer 9, as doing so will
result in a
loss of ZoomText functionality within Internet Explorer, and
possibly a
decrease in personal productivity. We do want to assure you that
we are
working on overcoming these problems and will provide a solution
as quickly
as possible.
Thank you,
The Ai Squared Support Team
