I don't know what HTML constant is or what that has to do with a Winamp notification window or the topic of HTML, either. I mean that literally. I don't know. I thought I understood that the virtual cursor was what is normally in play when I'm in Jaws unless I switch to the virtual cursor. But if you think I need a refresher course consisting of going into the Help files and reading some basic stuff to get it straight, I'll go do that and see if I learn something unexpected. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby Jr." <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 5:35 PM Subject: RE: Getting around Win amp Update freeze-out the help topic for JAWS explains the virtual cursor and how to deal with html constant in great detail.

Tell me a key command or a method. For instance, if the Tab key is irrelevant in this situation, then is it something you mean I should do with another navigation key, like the arrow keys? If so, what do I do? If not, please explain which key to use, and the actions to perform. Thanks. Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby Jr." <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 12:29 PM Subject: RE: Getting around Winamp Update freeze-out hi no when I say virtual cursor I mean just that. As the tab key is not part of the virtual cursor and just passes information straight to the program no wonder nothing happen. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 11:25 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Getting around Winamp Update freeze-out Hi Mr. Grims Bee, I'm sorry to say that each time this has happened to me, I've tried to use the tab key to find this control, which I think is what you mean by referring to using the virtual cursor, and the tab key reveals no controls at all. In other words, though I might like to accept the invitation to install the update when this notice appears, I can't access the control that would do this. If you didn't mean the virtual cursor but the Jaws cursor, I have switched to that and looked around also, but not figured out a way to do this. If it pops up again, I may try the Jaws cursor to make sure. But as far as using the normal operation of tab key navigation that I think is what's meant by virtual cursor here, it's all blank to me. I can't access any control in that notice nor can I operate Winamp with the usual keyboard commands. But the notice doesn't appear every time I launch Windamp, but only sporadically, as if by some program that randomizes the appearance of the notice. But next time it comes up, I'll try the Jaws cursor if that's what you meant to say. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby Jr." <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 10:50 AM Subject: RE: Getting around Winamp Update freeze-out Ok another thing you could do is use the virtual cursor and go click on the download link. It is there. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jake Joehl Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 8:39 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Getting around Winamp Update freeze-out I was actually gonna ask the same thing but it looks like one of you beat me to it! I have a sister who is also a JAWS user, and she has been getting that Winamp update too. I'm going to forward this response to her.
