Hi, if you are having a problem with windows issues go to the blind
programming web sight 
http://www.blindprogramming.com 
There they have many lists that might be helpful to you.  One of these
is the windows list.  As far as setting things in jaws when ever you
have a option in front of you in any jaws program press insert f1 a full
explanation will come up explain what that option does.

Subject: Re: [JFW] jaws with that attitude of yours:


I think a lot of this stuff in the new versions of jfw are just plain
unclear to us "users"! You people who are more technically inclined will
definitely understand what each section of the new HTML type stuff does
and what you get or don't when turning it on or off with those check
boxes, but us ordinary people, who just want to go, for example to the
amazon book store site, or a game to play, do not know what effect each
element has till we've played with it, and if we've turned off a bunch,
we don't know which ones we need to turn back on to make jaws read like
it use to in version xxx!  This is my personal difficulty, and I am
assuming it is others as well.  I am not familiar enough with windows
jaws, and didn't even use DOS long enough to actually know command line
interface either!  I had my computer set up by a company who created
macros for me so that when I booted up in dos, all I had to do was type
an F an my spread sheet for vending report opened.  They also set up my
games that way!  I always had to ask someone how to copy a file cause I
never could remember which came first the to or from, and it was four
years after getting the computer that I even found out I could get
e-mail!  I even had trouble with that!  I liked windows when someone
explained that it was all Macros, but the dozen ways to do the same
thing is as confusing as was DOS to me!  I am slowly learning, but I
don't have a lot of money to take expensive courses, so I depend on
lists like this to help me to understand the problems.  Many times, I
can't figure out if I have a Jaws problem, a windows problem, or a
combination!  Many times the moderator will point out that certain
topics have nothing to do with jaws, but is this really true?  If I
cannot figure out how to navigate in windows Media player with Jaws, is
it me or jaws or windows that's stupid?  I feel frustrated right now
with a problem that I know is windows, not jaws related but I don't know
how to fix it or what list I can ask the questions I need answered on!
It's truly difficult to separate it all sometimes!
