Hi Robert, Thank you for the suggestion. It does seem to help. Jaws still tends to hang on the first item in Programs, but, if I continue to arrow down, the entire list is now presented. This still seems odd to me, but, maybe, has something to do with the classic start menu option. I'm still getting acquainted with XP and the new notebook, so just wasn't sure what I might have missed doing properly. Thanks, again.
