Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast: 1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface. 2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager. 3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box. 4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced Options dialogue box appears. 5. Shift tab till you hear, "Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not checked". Press space to check it. 6. Press enter to activate the ok button. 7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm dialogue box. By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby JAWS stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast. Hope that helps.Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

No nag pop ups like antivir and it even has a male voice saying talking whenever it updated the databank. You can install this software and basically not ever do anything to it until it is time (after one year) to get a new free registration key.Highly recommend it. also, I noticed it seems not like such a ram hog that antivir is. chrissy----- Original Message ----- From: "dennis" <dennis.cornelison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 8:58 PM Subject: Re: Making Avast More Accessiblehow does this program compare to avg? does it perform as well and how long have you been using it.-- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
