If you have JAWS 9 you might find the following helpful taken from the
"What's new" topic.
Performing an Action Stated in a Balloon ToolTip
A system tray balloon ToolTip is a way for applications to inform you that
an event has occurred or an action is required. Often these ToolTips state
that you need to "click here" to perform a certain task, such as downloading
updates for Windows. With JAWS 9.0, when such a message appears, you can now
press the JAWS left mouse button (NUM PAD SLASH) to immediately act on the
message before the ToolTip closes.
In JAWS 8.0 and earlier, to select a balloon ToolTip, you had to enable the
JAWS cursor and navigate to the ToolTip. Often the message would close
before you could find it. As you can see, it is much more efficient to use
the JAWS left mouse button.
Note: The INSERT+TAB keystroke speaks the current control, its ToolTip, and
tutor message. If you wait to act on a balloon ToolTip message, you can
press INSERT+TAB to hear if it is still open and available. If it is, press
NUM PAD SLASH to select the ToolTip. If you do not hear the ToolTip, then
the message has closed. At this point, you can press INSERT+F11 to see if
the application that caused the balloon ToolTip to appear is available in
the system tray.

Hi all
I keep getting messages on my laptop telling me that I need to check my
security as there are several issues with it, and JFW says "click here"
but
there is no "here" to click! How then do I access the buttons to click
when
such messages pop up?
Thanks -
Andy
