Hi Tom,
The only 2 ideas that come to mind are kind of obvious i.e. to ensure that
the screen is maximised and double check that you don't have a crazy screen
resolution.
I tend to work with 1024 x 768 as my screen resolution and I use 32 bit
colour.
Incidentally, what method did you use to get your archive.pst into Outlook
2003?
One other quick thought... In the past, I've had a couple of occasions where
I'd created new Outlook profiles and nothing would work properly until I had
shut down and re-started the computer. You've probably done that in any
case (either deliberately or just from shutting down the computer) but, if
not, it's certainly worth a try.

Hi Tom,
I didn't find that you have to make much in the way of alterations to the
Windows 7 set up. I did change the setting within the Control Panel so that
the items were listed with small icons rather than in categories and I made
some changes in Windows Explorer to get rid of some of the clutter but apart
from that Jaws should work pretty well.
You might consider investing in a copy of "Windows 7 and Vista Explained" by
Sarah Morley Wilks and Steve Griffiths . At a cost of £30 it isn't the
cheapest publication but I think it is a pretty good starter for Windows 7.
You can get it from RNIB Customer Services if you're interested.
Regarding desktop short cuts, it's pretty much the same as earlier version
of Windows i.e. go to the Desktop and press Shift+F10 when nothing is in
focus, then select "New" and then "Short cut". If an icon is in focus when
you go to the Desktop, press Control+Spacebar to deselect it first of all.
Although you don't mention which version of Outlook you are using, the main
suggestion I would give is to clear away as much of the screen clutter as
you can. Things like the Navigation Pane, the Reading Pane, mail preview,
folder list, contact list etc are all things that you can do without or
which you can get to by other means. The cleaner your screen is the more
likely that Jaws will speak things correctly. Most of these items are under
the View menu and some of them then have sub menus in which you choose their
location or turn them off altogether.
Hope this is of some help.
Jamie
