It appears that Windows 7 is messed up in other areas as well. We just decided
to do a reload on windows 7 and go from there. Interesting that the graphics
card would come into play. Using JAWS 12. It speaks everything except that. It
even speaks other graphics so this is a mystery. I just assume windows 7 is
damaged because this other laptop was a floor model.
Thanks for your help, and if after the reload we will check out the video card.

John, as u likely know, graphics in jaws generate crc values--thus, the graphic
whatever number u sometimes hear when a graphic isn't labeled. This holds true
of the minimize, maximize, & close graphics at the top of the window as well.
Normally these are created at sufficiently common resolutions & w/a fair number
of color schemes & likely a representative sampling of hardware so that they're
recognized virtually universally.
I've gotta suspect that 1 or a couple things are actually occurring here:
a) It could be that something is happening to obscure Jaws' view;
b) It could be that either the resolution, graphics hardware, or video
acceleration is the culprit.
Make certain your resolution is adequate to the task, e.g., usually at least
1024 x 768 on desktop models. Also try playing w/the hardware acceleration. Put
it as high as possible.
Having said all that, though, u might wanna check out the various technical
bulletins on the fs website, especially those having to do w/incompatibility
between Jaws & various video cards. If your machine has 1 of these graphics
cards that Jaws doesn't like, your only solution may be to get a video card
that plays nicer w/jaws. I am assuming as I write all this that you're not
getting any video intercept errors & that you're running the proper jaws
version for your operating system.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally might even
