Missy,
I'm sure the information bar issue is not related to your video problem.
As for the state of on/off items not being read, it may be that the
state is indicated by a checkmark or some other graphic. You'll need
some sighted help with this, and then turn on graphics to "all" and see
if you can find some graphics which indicate when an item is selected.
If you can, then try labeling them and see if jaws will speak them as
you arrow up and down.
I have intermittent problems of a very similar nature with jaws, an
nvidiHi Folks - are there known issues with using an Nvidia card? I had
purchased an HP business machine with this card on board and it arrived
dead with the video card not working. It has been returned for a refund
and I was about to search for another HP machine... Are the Nvidia cards
to be avoided? IF so, what video cards are known to be good?
All the best,
Barry Ga card, and vista. In that case it just depends on how things are
when I boot; sometimes jaws won't read any of these things we're
discussing, but when I reboot, it then does fine.
FS tech support had me reinstall more than 6 times, under differing
conditions, which made no difference. I too updated drivers which made
no difference. They finally said something to me about having problems
with NVidia cards, then they said it shouldn't matter in vista.
I've heard bad things about xp media edition and jaws accessibility, so
you might ask FS tech support if that could be the problem.
Good luck,
Chip

Hello, all. I just recently purchased a VGA KFA 286GFE8HDFEXX
8600GT RT
video
card to replace an aling MSN 8500 GT video card in my
computer system. For
the most part, everything seems to be working reasonably
well, but I am
experiencing a couple of hopefully minor issues that I am
really hoping
that someone on this list might be able to assist me in resolving.
First of all, the essencials regarding my system:
Abit Quad GT motherboard
Intel qx6700 processer running at 3.50 ghz
4 GB of Kingston 8500 memory
Windows XP Media Center Edition with Service pack 3.
Jaws For Windows 9.0 Professional
Internet Explorer 7.0
AVG Free Edition Version 8.0
Windows Defender
Nvidia drivers which came out in july of 2008
This problem was drawn to my attention a couple of days ago
when I went to
the NLS talking books site to pick out some new books. Instead of
downloading like normal, I was presented with the information
bar and had
to
navigate to that and tell it that it's OK to download the
file; I've never
had to do that with the nls site until now. I went to check if some
advanced options in IE may have been changed somehow, only to
discover that
JFW no longer reads weather options are on or off; just the
option itself.
For example: disable script debugging; it says that, but not
weather it's
on or off.
I was hoping that perhaps someone on this list may have some
ideas with
regards to what
could be causing this problem, and how I might go about
fixing it. I don't
know for sure how many other programs are effected by this,
but if I try to
access help for either Internet Explorer or JFW, that doesn't
seem to read
as easily as it should.
I have double and tripple checked to insure that I am using
all recommended
display settings for JFW, and so far as I can tell,
Everything is as it
should be in that respect. In fact, absolutely nothing
changed after the
video card was changed; apart from downloading the absolute
newest nvidia
drivers I could find, everything should be exactly as it was
prior to the
card change. I thought the problem was resolved after
updating the nvidia
drivers, but this morning when I turned on my system, I was once again
unable to discern changes in on or off status for advanced options in
internet explorer. Not even using the jaws cursor or insert
uparrow reads
the on or off status; it's as if it isn't even on the screen.
Apart from help and internet explorer, all other software
I've had occasion
to use since the change in video card seems to be reading as
expected, but
I'd really like to resolve this problem so that I can
determine what change
may have been made that is making me have to click the
information bar any
time I wish to download a file.
Thank you very much for your time, and I hope that everyone
is having a
really great day.
Missy
