Aedan,
I remember I got this babylon toolbar alive and kicking, also, when i
upgraded to IE8. I unlocked toolbars, disabled babylon, and then removed
it. (it's a language
translation toolbar, I believe. may also be spyware.) I think it may
have come down from an earlier use & incarnation of internet Explorer:
the toolbar (like the Winnamp toolbar, and possibly others) was
activated again when I installed IE8.

Hi Francis,
Many thanks for that.
Last night I found every time I called up ie8 Jaws went to a blank
screen
and I had to do alt+tab to get into the ie8 window. I went checking Jaws
basic settings as suggested on a blog but changing these did nothing for
the
problem. So, I went checking the view settings of ie8. I found at the
very
bottom a reference to "Babylon toolbar". I disabled this and wola the
problem cleared and Jaws landed on the edit field every time on starting
ie8! I then went into Manage addons under tools in ie8 and disabled all
addons. So far all is well.
I have no idea where this Babylon toolbar came from.
Kind regards
Aedan.

Hi Aedan,
Here's a solution Paul put forward below. I know this worked for some
people
I worked with. Once we changed the setting to Windows 7 Basic all focus
issues were corrected. Hope that helps.

Hi Vincent,
What version of jaws?, have you windows 7 set to "Windows 7 Basic" in
your
themes?. Recently especially with jaws 12, jaws has been behaving very
poorly with a lot of problems. I have had to uninstall the most recent
jaws
12 update as I couldn't read either Excel or Internet explorer
properly.
If
you have jaws 12 on a DVD like an original jaws 12 then I would
suggest
removing completely the jaws you have installed currently and
reinstalling
again.
Paul.

Hi Vincent!
Is there any website in particular with these difficult links?
Sometimes links generated by JavaScript can cause problems for JAWS.
You can try pressing Ins+NumPadMinus followed by NumPadSlash. That
usually does it for me. Or you could try NVDA. It's a little more
JavaScript-tolerant,
good luck,
John
