Chella, aint firefox/webvisum just the bees?
U know, guys, about 2 months back I did a windows update that
absolutely trashed my ability to use jaws w/the virtual cursor. I had
to do a .net repair--definitively not a trivial process. Even still,
I've got a security update to .net framework that absolutely refuses
to install. What I guess I'm trying to say is that sometimes windows
trashes our machines for us. Aint that special?
It would be interesting, Denise, if u could determine whether another
screenreader worked as expected. I'm tryin' to remember, & I actually
think it destroyed my ability to use the virtual cursor w/any
screenreader, not just jaws. So that helped me determine it wasn't a
jaws problem & probably had to do w/the update in question.
