Well... I did a total uninstall, use the uninstall program, delete c:\program files\Msn messenger folder[even though I'm using windows live, it refers to itself from folder names etc as msn messenger], and deleted the registry keys found at hKey current user\Microsoft\msn messenger, and then ran a fresh copy of the installer and installed again. Hope this helps someone! ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Holdstock To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 1:23 AM Subject: Re: jaws and windows live messenger I find often that when using ALT + 1-4 keys JAWS reads the line above the one I want read in the received messages box. But I am only using the demo as cna't afford the full thing. I've ntoiced some strange things happen iwth the demo sometimes. peter Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon B To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 8:44 PM Subject: jaws and windows live messenger Jaws started acting up with windows live messenger. I can't read the recieved messages in the window from windows live messenger, it just says blank. Sometimes I can, but 9 times out of 10 it just doesn't read that window. Jaws cursoring works great in all otehr applications, Mercora, skype, IE, firefox, etc etc, but not in windows live messenger. I also can't arrow through my text I want to send when I open a window to talk to someone, but if they innitiate the conversation, jaws works as expected. I'm running jaws 7.10.500.
