Hi Andy,
Although your computer may be new to you, it may still not
have the latest video drivers installed. Do you now what
video card it has?
George.

Subject: [access-uk] jaws saying star
Hi all.
I've sent this message to both PC Audio and jfw lists and
got no response.
A few days ago I wrote seeking advice about a problem I was
having with my version of JAWS, which is 4.2. Everything
works as expected until I open a new message in Outlook
Express and tab down to the main body of the message.
Instead of JAWS key echoing every keystroke, it is saying
the word "star" on everything I type.
I have contacted Sight and Sound and have sent them a cheque
to the value of Â300, to upgrade from 4.02 to version 6, but
I'm not convinced that this will resolve my problem.
I am using xp home edition and I have my display settings
set to high contrast number 2. - I have some limited
peripheral vision and the high contrast number 2 has worked
well in the past.
While arrowing through my messages in Outlook Express, JAWS
announces all the messages as you'd expect. However, when I
press the Enter Key on a message to read it, JAWS announces
"Forms Mode Off" just before going into the main section of
the message. JAWS will continue to read the message as
normal, but If I wish to sent a reply to that message or
send a new message, JAWS simply key echoes the word Star on
every keystroke.
I'm convinced that the cause of this problem lies within my
display settings as I've tried JAWS 4.5 and experienced the
same difficulty.
The only other difference between this and my old computer
is that this new one has a flat screen.
Any advice would be very welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Andy.
