Hmm you've got me stumped,
I use JFW myself and I cannot see the screen either, I did not realise that
JFW leaves things on teh screen and changes the way things are presented.
From my own experiences, this is not the case. JFW does not change the way
things appear on the screen. I think the idea behind screen readers is to
give us as blind computer users the same or similair information as our
sighted friends and co-workers etc.
Thee must be something wrong with his screen dsisplay or something. Does he
say exactly what is wrong?
Don't worrry I don't thnk JFW is causeing the issues he is mentioning to
you.
Best Wishes
James

At this stage I'm using jaws 4.5. I go to an internet café to surf the net.
So I uninstall jaws on my machine and install it there. But now the people
complain that jaws is causing problems, altering the way text displays on
the screen. I told the owner of the café that I set jaws to not start when
the computer starts and I unloaded it with insert+f4. But still he says jaws
left things on the screen, it changed the way things is displayed.
How can jaws change display if it's not active? I don't understand.
But he just say: when jaws is installed windows is not functioning the way
it should for sighted people. I don't understand, jaws is only a screen
reader. It's not suppose to do things like that?
He still allows me to surf there. I'm just confused how this is possible.
Any clarity Is much appreciated
