Parimala,
If you have followed all of Freedom Scientific's recommended display settings 
for Windows XP, and JAWS is still not reading your screen correctly, it is 
probably because of an incompatible video driver.  If you are not comfortable 
installing software in Windows, you should get someone locally to help you 
upgrade your video driver to see if that resolves your problem.  Unfortunately, 
there is no way to know if any particular video driver will work well with 
JAWS.  Sometimes, none of the video drivers available for a particular video 
card work well with JAWS.  If this turns out to be the case, you will have to 
change to another video card.  Maybe your friends can give you some advice on 
which cards are working well for them, if a change becomes necessary.

Good luck with solving your problem.

Gary King, w4wkz@xxxxxxxx

  Subject: A unique JAWS problem


  Hay list!
   Hear are the details of the strange problem that I am still encountering 
with JAWS. You might find it quite strange, but I say that JAWS has gone 
literally crazy.
  What should JAWS say when you use alt+ tab? Announce the current application 
on the focus. Right. What is JAWS's duty when you press alt?
   Obviously, announce the menu title, and announce the submenu items of a 
particular items of the particular menu, and announce the next menu item ones 
you use your right arrow keys.
   Right then! Why is it failing to simply perform such simple functions on my 
comp? Do any of you have an answer to this?
   I am using JAWS version 6.2 with windows XP version 2002, and I still face 
this problem right from the installation time, to this day. I've also tried my 
hand in modifying and reinstalling JAWS, refreshing the screen, changing the 
display settings, and all that my friends have told me.
   But the issue is the same! Nothing is working at all! I had posted the same 
problem a couple of days back with the help of my friend, and one of the 
members of the list, Fayaz Pasha's help, and he did forward me a few responses. 
But, these suggestions too aren't working for me. May I ask the listers to 
guide me in this regard?
   Any suggestion, advice, tip, or guidance to solve this problem will be whole 
heartedly appreciated
   Thanks and regards
   Parimala
