Boy, promises that don't get delivered on. Sounds awfully familiar from a recent discussion on another list to which you whined incessantly.

Well Bruce it's good to know it's not just me here. I guess I'm not the only one fed up with tech support at FS. I hope they're lurking here as they normally do. I know they are here because they have told me in the past that they are. They just are not allowed to say anything to anyone. I've been contacted by Eric Damery from comments I've made here before about issues so I know they're listening and hope they see that many of us are frustrated and we just want to jaws to work as promised and to not keep saying ok guys that will have to be fixed in the next version as it's getting very old.

Dialogs still don't read correctly without having to use the jaws cursor. performance is very sluggish in windows mail and functionality in Windows mail is extremely poor. I have to continually close messages and re open them to get them to read. My mail status says something like 1 messages un reads. Did someone make a mistake in grammar here? In the volume controls dialog the reading is still read opposite of the correct amount example if it's set at 90 percent jaws says 10 percent if you press insert up arrow to get the status of the slider. Also when you try to change the volume rapidly by up or down arrowing it tries to spell the value out still as it did in beta 2. And I've been in the final release for 10 minutes now. Wonder what I'll find out after a day or two. Sorry FS but I'm very disappointed with the final release of Jaws and will use someone else's reader for Vista till it's fixed properly. I'll be putting up a podcast on my website probably next week showing the problems I've found in this release. I'm sorry but this release for Vista just doesn't cut it and lags far behind Window Eyes or System access.
