Hi James, Is JAWS also having trouble reading out other things, like list boxes or the contents of folders like My Documents? You might need to make sure that the display settings are set right. Go to Control Panel, then Display. Firstly make sure that the Theme is on Windows Classic (not Windows Classic Modified). Next, Control and Tab until you get to Settings, and find the Color Quality combo box. Arrow up to Medium (16-bit), then press OK. Choose Yes if you're asked to keep the settings, then restart the computer and hopefully it'll be OK.

It will just speak the key that is being pressed. Insert + F10 works only some of the time. We are running Jaws 7.0 on Win XP. I have tried to look at Freedom Scientifics technical support page but I could not find it. -- James Grayston Head of ICT The West of England School for children and young people with little or no sight ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subjectúq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
