Subject: JAWS not reading any text

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone on here has a troubleshooting idea that I haven't tried 
already. It is a computer with Win7 64 bit. The problem is the same with both 
JAWS 11 and 12. I have updated the video drivers and made trial adjustments to 
the screen resolution. No change. In any word processing application, in this 
case Word 2007 and Word Pad have been tried, JAWS won't read the text for 
editing. It will say Blank if in JAWS 11, but JAWS 12 just says nothing in 
response to any text editing.
This is true with web pages too. The title bar will read, Windows Explorer 
screen is read. And I even opened a PDF that read. But I get no links 
announced on a web page either. So, has anyone got any other suggestions? I 
will resort to calling FreedomScientific tech support next week when I'm on 
the system again, if no one here has any ideas. I feel fresh out of them. I'm 
sure I'm in a box and forgetting to check something important.

Thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions.

Sue B.
