Hi
Hmmm. Again, maybe the FS recommended settings aren't set properly on the 
system?
it's also very possible that the resolution could be set wrong too. On my 
system, JAWS won't work with anything less than 1024x768 resolution, 32 bit 
colors. I tried the standard 800x600 with 256 colors, and things just would 
not read properly so I set it back to 1024x768 and all worked fine 
again.  I also use a radion 7500 video card in this system so that could 
also be a factor.
