Just installed JFW 7.0 on a new laptop. The install went okay, the pc is running xp/sp2. Jaws does not speak the contents of combo boxes or list boxes, just the position, like 2 of 9...sounds like the Borg. On the desktop, it will say 1 of 10 or something like that, but refuses to read the item names. Even in the Jaws program, on basic settings, cannot move up and down the list box for setting the kind of keyboard, it just reads the numeric position of the cursor, not the name. Radio buttons and check boxes seem to read okay. Most things in control panel will not read.


Have verbosity set to highlited, but acts the same in the all mode.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks,

Dan
