Another thing you could try which works very well is to press:
INSERT control w
This will virtualize the window and you can then navigate the screen with the
normal JAWS reading keys. To exit this window just press the escape key.

Subject: JAWS and Properties screens
Hello Everyone!
I am new to this list and hope this isn't a stupid question. I can't get
JAWS to read a Properties screen for me! If I browse to a file by double
clicking the My Computer icon, then right-click on the file, then click on
"Properties", JAWS will not read the entire screen for me. I have tried TAB
(which just goes over the checkable options like 'hidden'), CTR+TAB (with no
effect), and even tried the JAWS cursor by pressing the "-" sign on the num
pad. The JAWS cursor will read the name of the file, but if I move down to try
the rest of the screen it gets stuck on the task bar. All I can do at this
point is press the "+" on the num pad to go back to regular JAWS. I have JAWS
v9 and Windows XP. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your help!
