I'm also running JFW 10.0.1139. What has now been happening is that my friend types something in, and JAWS will read it the first time but when I try to use my jaws cursor or other commands, I can't get it to read anything but graphics and the menu bar. It's annoying.

I've loaded it on to my Vista machine with JAWS 10. I know.I know, I need to upgrade, and will do that in a while. Anyway, when trying to use it with someone, I couldn't get JAWS to read the messages that I was typing or the messages that my friend was typing to me. I used to use it on a Netbook computer with Windows XP and JAWS 10, but something's different here. Do I need specific scripts or certain commands to use it? It's kind of necessary. Thanks. Jim
