HI all,

Well I finally upgraded to 7.1, and now, I am having a couple problems, and
I'm wondering if they can be solved.  According to the automatic updates
feature, I have the latest version.

First, I am using yahoo Messenger version 7, as recommended by someone on
this list, but now, with JAWS 7.1, it won't read me the contacts anymore.
It just says "Yahoo messenger with Voice" and is silent when I use up or
down arrows.  Is there a way this can be fixed?  Should I upgrade to the
newest version now, or are there some scripts I need?

The other problems are with Microsoft Outlook 2003.  first, it used to be
that when I would press control-N to start a new message, if I started to
type a name, if I had sent the message to someone with that name recently,
JAWS 7 would read me the names it came up with to auto complete.  Now, it
just sits there, when I know full well the letters I'm typing in should
bring me something.  I went into verbosity and made sure the announcement of
auto completion of address lists was turned on.  Is there anything else I
can do?  I used this feature a lot.

The other thing isn't a big deal, just a nuisance bug I think.  If I press
control-D in a message in outlook Express, when I open the next message, it
won't read it, even though the read messages automatically is also on, and
normally, it would read it no problem.  Anyway, this seems to be
temperamental in any case, but never reads after I've pressed control-D
within a message to delete it and go back to the list, then open another
message.

I would appreciate any help with any of these.
