Hi, Jed. These are some instructions I sent to the list a few days ago. I think they'll work in Win XP as well. There is a fix that Freedom Scientific has issued to solve this problem. To implement the fix, you need to edit a configuration file with Notepad. First, it would be a good idea to make a backup copy of c:\jaws50\settings\enu\internet explorer 5-6.jcf so that if you make a mistake in your edits, you can get the original back. Now for the editing instructions: Go into Notepad, and open the file called c:\jaws50\settings\enu\internet explorer 5-6.jcf. Once opened, arrow down until you hear "bracket o s m closed bracket." After you hear this, keep arrowing down because you're going to go to the end of this section to add a line. Now keep arrowing down until you hear "bracket braille closed bracket." Now you need to add the following line, and add it exactly as I present it here: IgnoreTransparentSpaces=1 Hit enter at the end of this line. This line needs to appear just before the bracket BRAILLE line. Now do an alt-f and arrow down until you hear "save" and hit enter. Do an alt-f4 and this should take you out of Notepad. Now, restart your computer and the combo box problem should be fixed. Hope this helps. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
