Hi Kimberly,Go to Start/Control Panel/Personalization/Theme and make sure to change the Theme to Windows Classic. Then from Personalization, go to Window Color and Appearance and change the color setting to Windows Classic. This should remedy your problem.
Basically I've started recording the podcast. Cheers, Joseph

I have user account control disabled, and it
still wouldn't let me change
the time, because it wouldn't read the list
boxes, or what ever they are
called, spin boxes I think, where you change
the time. That other program
read it though. Big grin! We're not
mentioning any names here. I'm sure
this will be fixed soon. Thanks and let us
know when your podcast is ready.
I'm anxiously awaiting it! ----- Original Message -----From: "Joseph Lee"

Hi Kimberly and list,I also use Vista with JAWS 8.0.1163. The
reason why JAWS will not read
fields on certain applications is that by
default Vista uses what's called
UAC (User Account Control). This is used to
block access to key system
areas from users, such as changing
date/time, installing hardware or
software, and other similar operations that
require administrator rights.
You can easily disable UAC (which is what
I've done).
I'm currently working on a podcast for Blind
Cool Tech on using Windows
Vista for the first time. In this podcast,
I'll talk about new features
in Windows Vista and tips and tricks that
you should know. For about 90%
of the podcast, I'll use JAWS, but for some
segments I'll use Window-Eyes.
(I'd guess that this is not a good topic to
discuss here, so if anyone has
any comments, please write to me off list) Cheers, Joseph

Hi Shawn. I am using it. I got a newlaptop, which had Vista, and didn'thave a choice. I am using JAWS beta and theWindow Eyes beta also. JAWSstill definitely has its problems. I neededto change the time on it, andwhen I went to date/time in control panel,JAWS wouldn't read the fields tochange it. I had to switch to the WindowEyes beta, which did just fine.You also have to disable what is called UserAccount Control before JAWSwill work. There are instructions on how todo this in the JFW website. Itwork fairly well on most things I've tried itwith so far, but there aredefinite glitches. Another example is a siteI go to to pay bills wouldn'tread all the list boxes in edit mode, so Ihad to go do it on my computerwith XP.
My advice is to get Vista to play with, andkeep XP to work with, and thenmove to Vista gradually as they work out thebugs. hth
Anybody else who is using Vista, please speakup on here as well. Doesanybody know if there is a list dedicated toVista only for JAWS users?Thanks and have a nice day!----- OriginalMessage -----From: "Shawn Keen" <dkeen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 1:17 PM Subject: Vista

Any feedback would be helpfull.
Thanks Shawn
