What version of jaws are you using? Also do you have the standard
version of jaws or the pro version. That will make a difference. If your
computer is what they call a media center computer, then you also have the
media center version of windows which means that you'll have to upgrrade to
the pro version of jaws.

Subject: JFW and Windows XP Media Centre 2005
Dear All
I am trying to set up a Windows XP media Centre 2005PC to be able to enjoy the TV viewing capability of the operating system.
I have heard that JAWS 7.0 supports Windows XP Media Centre and mine does
run on the operating system. The only problem is that it does not work in
the Media Centre application itself leaving me with nothing more than an
ordinary copy of Windows XP and not giving me the opportunity to watch TV on
it. JAWS would not speak anything at all, whenever I would press the
arrows, Tab or Enter keys it would simply tell me "blank". Not even the
JAWS cursor would give me any help here. To JAWS this application is pretty
much a blank screen.
I have also tried using the Windows Narrator with this since I have heard that some people have success with this with pretty much the same results i.e. no info spoken whatsoever.
I am beginning to think that I have something wrong with my setup. I have an Asus P5GD1-VM motherboard with Intel 915G chipset. I am using the onboard Realtek audio and the onboard Intel graphics (is the onboard graphics okay?). I also have 512 mb RAM and a 200 GB Seagate Sata hard drive.
First of all, is anyone successfully using the Windows XP Media Centre
application, not the operating system, with JAWS and, can you tell me
whether there is any JAWS or graphics adjustments that I need to make to get
this working?
any other tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
