Jaws works well with 32 bit color.
Glad it is working out for you.
Best of luck Robert

I went to driver update in device manager which seems to have fixed my
problem. I didn't see the message it gave me but I think it must have
installed something because my jaws seems to read better. I was surprised
that DCM management didn't get broken. Window-Eyes worked fine after too.
Well, it's working and I hope it keeps working as I really need to use jaws
on this machine.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Sara

Might be a display setting or a video driver issue.
I remember I had something like this a few years ago on a dell latitude c
640.
I had to update the video drivers and jaws read the screen fine after that.
Check if there are any driver updates for your pc either through dell, or
windows update.

The font is whatever it is set to by default which I believe is currier 10
pt.
The window is maximized which never seems to be a problem anyway. Any idea
why jaws doesn't like large fonts?

When you are in notepad, or word pad do you have the window maximized
Also what size font do you have set?
If it is to large jaws won't read it. Now I don't know about your brail
output if it registers large fonts.

Hi people.
I have a spanking new Dell vostro 1400 laptop running win xp pro sp2.
I have jaws 8.0 2173 I think the number is.
When I type in wordpad or notepad I can't read what I've typed on the
braille display. I have to use the display. I have the same problem with
speech but not always. The display is a pacmate 20 3.70 it says when it
starts up.
I know the display works as it displays when I focus the desktop and it
seems to read parts of controls in dialogue boxes but not always the text,
just 1 of 3 etc.
I think there must be something sitting on top of the windows or a screen
animation in the way or something. I threw google desktop out the window but
no luck.
How do I fix this?
Sara
