Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I tried MT's last batch of IE fixes, and that didn't work to restore IE or get IE tab to function. So I moved on to PP's suggestion of...

IE Tab didn't work for that scanner either, so I tried it on about 10 different web pages. It didn't work, so unfortunately the problem seems to be IE Tab.

My apologies. I don't know why nothing has been going right the last two days. I went to that page, right clicked and chose "Open in IE Tab". It didn't work. This is the page that I got:

Hi again,

No worries! Your real life should always take priority over my computer - not that I don't deeply appreciate the help and all.

I haven't yet used Jotti during this process. Is this...
