[JAWSLite] Re: Silent Desktop

Hi
   When i just tried the insert+ctl+escape, the start menue came up just as 
if I had only pressed ctl+escape.  When I do the Windows Key+D, a list of 
the desktop icons appears;  however, Jaws still doesn't say anything until I 
select something.  If I type the initial for an application on the desktop, 
and press enter it goes to where it should but, of course Jaws remains 
quiet.

  hmmm, I'm using the latest jaws 8 on XP home, and the only time I get this 
type of trouble is:
  1. when I have something in the way, such as a priority screened 
application.
  or
  2. when jaws has started to "go south for the winter"

  have you tried re-initializing the scripts/jaws when on the desktop 
(insert, control and escape simultaneously)?

  if, when on your desktop, you type a letter for a known desktop shortcut 
and hit enter do you get that application, do you get something else, or 
nothing?

  if you hit windows key D instead of windows key M does that bring up a 
list of desktop shortcuts?

  and have you checked your display settings?  to make sure something hasn't 
rearranged them in an way that is hindering jaws?

  I'm sure we can find it, we just need to run down through all the 
possibilities, smile

      I could wish that your prior posts were included in this, ok, so you 
get no viewable icons on your desktop as far as jaws is concerned?
      but you can "see" internet pages and your e mail client,

      can you see the start menu when you hit the windows key? or the system 
tray when you hit insert and F11?

      hmmmm, could you refresh me on what version of jaws and your operating 
system please, I did read your first message, but have forgotten the details 
and not having them in the continued posts leaves me unable to recheck them.

      regards,
