First, I wanted to chime in and let those with Avast know that the same 
warning message came when I started my computer.  Don't know what's going on 
there but am hoping not to see that again.  Avast seems to be the most 
Jaws-friendly of the antivirus programs.

On to my question:  I am learning how to tolerate Windows Live Mail, since 
I'll be using it until my XP machine returns.  I like reading mail in HTML 
because when you read it in plain text and go to next message it doesn't say 
who it's from.  But when I do read in HTML and hit delete so the next 
message can begin, it seems Jaws gets tired after reading about 3 or 4 
messages and if I hit insert escape to refresh screen it works fine.  In 
other words, the email is open and I hit delete, but it gets silent on next 
message and screen-refreshing makes it talk again.  But after reading a few 
messages fine I find I'm screen-refreshing at the beginning of the rest of 
the messages.  I know F.S. really doesn't have a set list of recommendations 
yet for Windows 7, and I also notice that when I installed Jaws it did put 
me to a basic windows 7 theme so it apparently knows which theme Jaws works 
best in.  But do you think screen resolution should be changed so I won't 
have to keep refreshing the screen while reading mail, or do you think a 
program like Auto Sizer might help whatever is causing Jaws to not respond 
to the screen after awhile?  If changing the screen resolution is the answer 
(right now it's 1024/768), wouldn't changing the screen resolution also 
change the workable theme that F.S. has recommended for Windows 7?  I know 
if theme gets changed Jaws reads horribly so not sure what to do.

Thanks for any help.
