Hi Debbie, Have you changed the settings in the Tools/Options dialogue box to the recommended JAWS settings? Dave Hello I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers regarding JAWS on my new lap top. Everything is running well except that JAWS is not reading the items in the system tray, messages in messenger and my emails in my in box. I am using windows xp home, jaws 9.0.552 on a dell lap top, oh yes and office 2003.
