[JAWSLite] Re: Problems with Vista andJAWS 9

Dennis,

OK, that seemed to fix my Powerpoint problem. Do you know why?

There is no change to the cursor bouncing around Windows Explorer, though. I
select a directory and hit ENTER, focus goes to the list view, I hit the
first letter of the file I want to open, and arrow down once. The cursor
then pops back up a file and I have to arrow down again to be able to open
the file. (I haven't tried the Open dialog in Word yet).

Thanks.

What happens if you disable User Account Control?

Thanks,
