Daniel,
I think these are good questions. I for one, have had trouble with display
settings since I purchased my M675 computer from gateway. I went from
windows 98 to XP pro and Jaws 6 pro. I tried to set up my display settings
for maximum efficiency, and now I see that even FS doesn't know what
settings should be used for Jaws. I am certainly no computer expert, as
noted by the questions I have posted to this list, but I am sending a copy
of this email to FS support and see what response I get from them. I think
that perhaps on this list, there are folks who know Jaws better than FS
does. Kind of sad isn't it?
Jim
