I haven't used Internet Explorer in ages. The last time I did was about
a year ago, either on Windows 8.1 or 10 (probably 10), and it seemed to
be working all right. I just brought it up on my windows 10 machine
running Jaws 17, and it seemed normal.
My experience is that, when a screen seems blank, it's often because
there's some sort of overlay or bubble alerting me to something. Jaws is
in that bubble, but Jaws is unable to read it. If your computer has a
touch screen, touch the screen to figure out what's going on. You might
be able to tap in the In ternet Explorer area to get out of that bubble.
Also, NVDA and Narrator can often read and navigate the bubble, so you
can figure out what it's telling you to do and close it.
