Adrian,

I hate to be a wet blanket, but why not try a couple more reboots just to make 
sure it doesn't "break" again. That second reboot just sounds suspicious.

Signing off (with my fingers crossed),
Dave

  Not in any way to negate Roy's idea, I suggest that anyone experiencing 
difficulties with this latest JAWS 11 release reboot not once, but twice. After 
I installed the release and rebooted the first time, I found my arrow keys 
weren't reading lines as usual, and like Bill, I had to resort to insert-8 on 
the numpad. I noticed that another JAWS user I helped a few weeks ago had the 
same problem. Rebooting solved it in his case, and it turned out a second 
reboot resolved mine.

  If that hadn't worked, I'd be following Roy's directions.

  It sounds like you have installed some third party scripts that may be 
messing with the default scripts.  
  to test this 
  WindowsKey+R and then type jaws11 /default in the dialogue.  
  InSERT+f4 
  press ineter on the ok button to unload jaws
  now pres enter again 
  JAWS will start with the default settings.  try the research it options and 
then if it reads properly that means it is something in your user folder.  
  Restart JAWS normally at this point.  
  The problem should return. 
  I suspect you will find it is something in your user folder.  


  Hope this helps some 
  Roy

    Hello.  I am using the latest update of JAWS Version 11.0.1447  home with 
Windows XP.  After updating, I noticed that when I use Insert+space, then R to 
enter research it, then navigate to the options and press space bar, none of 
the items in the check box menu will read when I use the up and down arrows.  
To hear them, I must press Insert+8 on the num pad.

     

    I called FS and Jim told me to remove the default.jcf and the default.jsb 
files.  After doing this, the arrows did read the items in the menu.

     

    However, after re starting my computer, the old problem again cropped up.

     

    Has anyone noticed this problem, and if so, is there a solution among those 
on the list?

     

    As yet, there doesn't seem to be one from FS.

     

    Thank you in advance.
