After I installed jaws 8 on my windows xp home computer with 512 ram and a 120 gig hard drive the problems started. When I'd go to the desk top Jaws 8 wouldn't read any of the icons, but if I pressed lets say m for ms word it would open.I also noticed that when I'd open one of my documents again jaws 8 wouldn't read any of the text. I checked my display settings and all is correct there. The two other versions of jaws being version 7 and 7.1 work just fine. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
