Hi Paul 

Just as a matter of interest your mails are coming up on screen as a
plain black background with no print visible. When Tim replied his mail
was visible as white on black or something like that. Of course it reads
as it should with the speech app.

hi tim

when i say jaws is turned off, i mean that i am on my account which runs
jaws at startup, so i can work on the system.

then when a sighted person wants to work, i leave my account active and
just use alt and f4, then ok to close jaws .

        Hi,

         

        When you say jaws is turned off, have you  unloaded it using
the jawsky + f4  keystroke?

         

        Have you then closed and re-opened the web browser?

         

        Tim

                hi folks

                 

                when jaws is switched off for the sake of other family
members I am told that they cannot type in a form field or edit box.

                when jaws is on I can use the space bar to turn on forms
mode but I am told that what I type is not visible and also if make a
mistake typing in lets say a username or password and press backspace to
correct the computer jumps forward a page on the webpage.

                 

                this problem is also relevant when I try to create a new
account on the pc, I can niter the form field to give the new account a
name but nothing is visible when I as in a flashing cursor and I cannot
type in either with jaws on or off.

                any ideas

                help appreciated.

                regards

                Paul h
