Jennifer, what color scheme are you using, also are any of the
accessibility options in the control panel set for low vision (ie large
fonts, etc). Any of these can cause all of the problem you are
experiencing.

I have Jaws 9.0 with Windows XP Home Edition. Jaws isn't reading any
menus
in any program. It will read the start menu now, but if I go into
Windows
Media Player for example, Jaws won't read anything. I tried maximizing
the
window, but for some reason alt + space bar won'[t let me do it. I also
can't use windows Explorer. I don't know about the Internet because I
don't
have it connected yet; I plan on hooking it up to the Network at The
Carroll
Center. I don't know what else to really say-oh jaws won't read the
icons on
the screen either. I press windows + M at the same time, and it says
where
it is, but when I arrow around Jaws says nothing.
