Hi,
First of all, when going into a combo box, go into forms mode and then press
alt + down arrow first to "open" the combo box. This is sometimes necessary
to get jaws to recognise the items in the combo box properly.
If this fails, ensure that the site you are trying to navigate combo boxes
in and/or the telephone app you are using is not flash based, as flash
content is sometimes dynamically updated or scrolled and this may confused
jfw.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Graphics cards?
Hi,
I've just been given a new pc base unit, with a graphics card Intel 82915G
controller family edition.
I've briefly looked and searched in the FS tech support bulletins but
nothing comes up, here's my problem.
When on the net, if I go into forms mode for a combo box, and begin
scrolling with down arrow, jaws goes into a non stop repeatition of the
selected item showing in the box. Control key stops it, but only if I insert
F4, kill Jaws then re launch it, then it stops and settles on the item
showing. Into forms mode again, down arrow, and away it goes again, it's
like it's a flashing neon light that jfw is reading, but the item in the
combo box is definitely constant.
I've seen this behaviour happening also within a new telephone interface I'm
looking at via this pc. There's an online directory list and if I leave the
focus on the list anywhere, jaws starts to read cells and column headings
etc spontaneously.
I haven't gone thoroughly into troubleshooting the display settings, but I'm
sure it's in there somewhere, because when I right arrow along the themes
tab, appearance tab, screen saver tab, settings tab etc, jaws is currently
just saying, tab, tab, tab and nothing else.
Under those settings, I'm unsure about the monitor setting, one says default
monitor, the other option is plug and play monitor,, then 2 options, use
default, or make my desktop settings fit this monitor.... not seen that one
before!
Dell G2800 machine, P4, XP Pro, SP2, 514 Ram, JFW 8.
Any theories most welcome.
