Lynn,
What version AVG? I'm using 8.5 Free and it's very accessible with JAWS.

Subject: Re: FS making changes to JAWS.
Two years ago, I contacted Freedom Scientific about problems using the AVG
interface with JAWS. They said they would look into it, and that's the way it
was left.
I still use AVG, but it is not as easy to modify or make schedule changes as
it used to be. It would be helpful if assistive technology companies took ease
of use more seriously. *smile*
Blessings.

Pretty typical. Changing this is esoteric and would not get FS very excited.
I'm still waiting for the instruction on how to modify the scripts, that
Shannon Hannah said she has, in a message dated 22 July.
Shannon, please post to the list. Your solution sounded intriguing.

This has been covered already, but I'll repeat it anyway. The
easiest way to change the JAWS start-up message is to use the Dicttionary
Manager. Follow these steps:
1. Go to the JAWS Utilities menu and select Dictionary Manager.
2. Hit Space on the Add... dialog to select the Add Dictionary
Definition dialog.
3. In the Actual Word field, type "jaws for windows is ready."
exactly as it appears in quotes.
4. In the Replacement Word field, type the phrase you would like to
hear instead. For example, you could type in something like, "Hurray!! JAWS 10
is good to go!!".
5. If you wish, you can also add a sound to play along with the
phrase by choosing a sound from the list of provided sounds.
6. Tab to Okay and hit Space.
7. Close the Dictionary Manager, and reply with Yes when prompted
to save changes. Now, whenever you turn on your computer or launch JAWS
manually, you will hear the new phrase you just created instead of "JAWS for
Windows is Ready".

Hi Stephen, I have instructions on changing how jaws
starts. When ever I get a new version I change the announcement to say what
version it is, the time, date and I have even added in a few other things. Like
Hello Shannon. I have the instructions on how to do this if you want I can send
them to you off list, just let me know.
