Hi Tristram,

Thanks for this, She had been having a look at NVDA  and thinks this might have 
been a issue. The link you provided seems to have sorted it out, thanks!

  When the colour is reported as "black on black" this quite often indicates a 
video interceptor problem of some sort.  You will need to have a look in that 
area therefore to fix the problem.  You may want to find out whether they have 
other access technology installed on the machine.  You may also want to find 
out about the graphic card being used and whether the drivers have been 
properly installed for it or maybe if there is an update set you can get a hold 
of.

   

  It is difficult to direct specifically what you may wish to do not having any 
other info to hand.  I would however be tempted to try updating the video 
interceptor for JAWS.  You can do so using this download to see if it will help.

  Hi folks,

   

  My friends pc is still having problems with the menus and also reading with 
the jaws curser, also the colour in both IE and some elements of outlook 
express are reporting as being black on black. I checked her display settings 
and they seem fine, anyone else experieinced this and know how to resolve it? 
Any help would be great, could this be a jaws issue and can you still repair 
jaws ? or do you have to re-install? 

   

  thanks 

   

   

  Alistair
