hi. yep had to roll back to ie 7 from ie 8. was doing some web projects for a course a couple of years ago and was looking to upgrade and editing and upgrading my sites. and for some stupid reason. had my css style sheet added. ie 8 was playing havoc and would not speak out the table and the fonts and everything. so rolled back to ie 7 and now can hear my table and the fonts i specified. so the only way around that is to uninstall internet explorer totally install it from stratch. in windows xp in the adminstrators sections from memory. go to services. and in there there should be some settings for internet explorer. disable it and then stop it and then start the service again. and maybe if you have ie 7 on a cd or just download it from the ms site. good luck. cheers Marvin. ps: oh and when i rolled back to ie 7 with jaws 10. it worked like a charm.
