This is not a fs problem. If you had your system tray configured
properly you would have no problem. See my other message on this
subject for direction on how to do this. Or even look at the jaws help
file novel concept.

Hi Michael,
Ins-F11 works pretty well here 90+% of the time. I prefer to use the
system
tray and yes its easily messed up if you press anything other than what
JAWS
expects. I agree that FS needs to work on this. Its annoying for
things to
not work as expected or to work part of the time but not all of the
time.

Hi,
I've had this problem though primarily with the Select A System Tray
dialog box. Jaws has a difficult time correctly placing focus in this
window for some reason. About 70% of the time I can reliably select the
firstor second option in this window. Anything below that and Jaws
doesn't properly select the item that Jaws is reading. The only way
I've been able to reliably access the System Tray is by accessing it on
the task bar and I do it this
way:
1. Open the Start Menu
2. Hit escape.
3. Tab over to the System Tray button. Jaws will only say button here.
You'll know you've passed it if you hear Jaws say Desktop. 4. Press
Spacebar. 5. Now you can either arrow down to the item you want or
press the first letter of the desired item. Then you can either hit
Enter on it to perform what is essentially a double-left mouse click or
you can press the context-menu button to perform a right-mouse click
function.
Note: I know this sounds dumb, but you have to do this correct the
first time. If you Tab over to the system tray button, press the
spacebar and then accidently press the left or right arrow key, or even
if you tab again after having selected the button, it seems to mess
everything up. To correct it, I'll Alt-Tab a couple of times, refresh
the screen, then start the process all over again. It's a hassle, I
know, and I really wish Freedom Scientific would address this problem
with the System Tray. If Insert-F11 can't work reliably, then why even
have the feature?

Hi,
That didn't have any affect. I still can not always navigate through
the system tray. Now what?

in the task bar and start menu
make sure, only the keep on top and the clock should be checked, if
they are the only ones checked unchecked one then checked it again
and then apply the changes and then ok
and see if that fixes the problem

Subject: System Tray Icons
Hi List:
I have noticed that using JFW 6.2 with XP (both Pro and Home), I
cannot reliably navigate through the System Tray Icons. It doesn't
matter whether I tab to the System Tray and then use the arrow keys or
use Jaws Key + F11.
It will not announce all the icons or will announce the same icon
multiple
times. All of my display, task bar, etc settings are set according to
FS
recommendations.
Two observations:
1. This is not an issue on Windows 2000. It always works reliably.
2. I just setup a new XP Pro PC. It was reading the tray icons
perfectly, until I attached the computer to the network and it
downloaded all the MS update files. Once all the updates were
downloaded and the computer rebooted several times, the unreliable
function of reading system tray icons
began. I hadn't made that observation on other XP machines, but this
is
the
first machine where I had done the majority of the setup prior to
attaching
it to the network and downloading MS updates.
In any case, I'm interested if anyone else has this issue and what, if
anything, you have been able to do to solve the problem. Thanks,
John
