Make sure your windows are maximized. Are you running any other software, like 
a screen magnifier at the same time as JAWS?

Subject: PROBLEM WITH JAWS ON LAPTOP

Hallo,

My name is Morné and I am from South Africa.  I'm a new member to the list.

 I urgently need your help.  I'm a university student and I'm using a
laptop to take notes in the class.  I use a Dell Laptop and Jaws 8.
If I open a document in Word, I cannot use my up and down arrows in
the text.  Jaws then tells me the word blank.  I can only use co ntrol
left and control right arrows.  I cannot use my up and down arrows to
read text.  The same in Outlook.  Jaws does not want to read my list
of messages in my inbox.  I just hear the word blank all the time. Can
someboddy please help me?  Kind regards, Morné
