Dear Terry and others trying JAWS with Windows 7.0. There is
significant re-organising of the taskbar and what used to be variously
described as the nofication area/system tray. It is likely that JAWS
just doesn't work there yet, in fact I already know it won't. Even when
JAWS is suitably adapted many users will find there is nothing actually
in there to find which may again be interpretted as a JAWS bug, however
this will be by design because Microsoft have chosen by default to hide
everything in your system tray even though it may still actally be
running. This means that your system could be fully loaded with startup
programs but Windows still hides the evidence of this until you really
go hunting.

Hi Tris
Well, after a few attempts, I managed to get jfw v10 installed, and its
working really well.
One thing I've noticed so far, is I'm ot able to bring up the system
tray using insert and f11. It just says, failed to bring up system
tray, or something similar to that.
I'm just waiting for my activation count to be reset before trying to
authorise it.
Terry

There could be a variety of issues at present since JAWS 10.0
has not been adapted to run Windows 7.0. Bear in mind that Windows 7.0
is still beta and as I say work to make JAWS Windows 7.0 compliant.
Also I wonder if perhaps you are using 64bit Windows 7.0 perhaps which
at this present stage will complicate matters considerably.
Be assured though to work to make JAWS work with 7.0 is
underway.
