Hi, I typically use the resolution of 1050 by 768. However since this thread started I've been running my 17 inch wide screen laptop at 1680 by 1050 just to see what results I would get. For the past 2 days I must say that I haven't noticed any difference in programs such as; word or excel XP outlook express, or adobe reader 7. I'm using jaws 8.
Hope that helps someone. Tony Some people wish to get what they deserve, while others fear the same.----- Original Message ----- From: "ptusing" <ptusing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, I appreciate your answer.My point is that resolutions like 1152 and 1280--and those are some of the resolutions thatsome on-board Adobe versions comewith on laptops--do not work with JAWS. You areright 1024 isthe best resolution; manufacturers want some laptop users of the wide screens to leave 1024 resolution and go higher which is why I postedmy comments. Tech Support is right in so far as JAWS works in 1280 etal,but the Adobe versions that are out there do not in my humble opinion.Many thanks.----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Skarstad" <toonhead@xxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 1:30 PM Subject: Re: Caution using Adobe with wide screen resolutionsHi. I'm not using a laptop at the moment, but here's an interesting tidbit. I'm using JAWS 8.0 on a monitor which supports 1024x768 resolutions, and the interesting part is that when I wentdown to the *recommended* setting of 800x600 resolution, JAWS would not read much of anything, and when it did it was very hit or miss. so i went right back to the 1024x768 resolution, and all appears to be fine. So I dunno if it's entirely an Adobe issue, but it would appear that something was amiss there.At 11:48 AM 2/8/2007, you wrote:Hi,I am in the middle of a huge mess after following instructions from 2 companies andthis is why I am posting this.If any one else has this problem, call the highest person you can find at F S Tech Support and start praying.I finally found a person who was a contractor with ADobe and that person (not me) said ADobe requires resolution 1024 by 768. Your wide screen laptop may run fine with every other software so you might not notice the resolution is higher than the 1024 resolution. It is totally unclear if any ADobe versions run in the higher resolutions other than 1024 by 768.It appears this concept is totally new to Freedom Scientific and there are a lot of ADobe versions out therethat are tauted to work with XP or with JAWS 7; I know of 3.I am not blaming any one and in general, my respect for F S Tech Support is high.What is needed is feedback from others running into this problem. My real suggestion is that one use 1024 with ADobe. Also, get a giant bottle of Excedrin.I am now stuck unable to repair versions ofJAWS and MAGIC but 2 versions work.It is a darn shame but other than the ADobe issue, I think JAWS works in higher resolutions.By the way, the ADobe version specificfor laptops that is supposed to work in the higher resolutions does not work withJAWS well; there are conflicts.I do not feel stupid asI followed directions given me by every one and asked several people.I am in the wrong place at the wrong time and I think ADobe is the culprit. Have a great day. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
