Chris, the first suggestion that came to mind, is to press control +pc
cursor key, but this only widens a column temporarily and upon reading your
message a second time, I don't think this is your issue. It has to do with
what Jaws picks up when a contact signs in I know. But perhaps there is a
setting you can tweak in msn? IN truth I can't figure out what it might be.
For now I am back to using msn 7.5, just had to have my computer's hard
drive reformatted.

Subject: Windows Live messenger 8.1, JAWS 8, and announcing whose signing in
: Hi folks
: I wanted to make the subject line as clear as possible. here's the
: question. Recently Windows Live messenger 8.1 was released, and I
: was asked earlier by the program if i wanted to upgrade to the latest
: version. I said yes and it installed perfectly ok and I can read
: messages and all that works fine.
:
: However, with this latest version, JAWS 8.0, for whatever reason,
: seems to be trunkating the names of people when they sign in. To
: make myself completely clear here, if someone signs in, you'll hear,
: so and so has just signed in.
: If this screen name is particularly long, JAWS 8 will read only part
: of the screen name, and then out of nowhere you'll hear ...
:
:
: So in the above example, instead of hearing, looking for a good mp3
: recorder has just signed in, , JAWS now says something like, looking
: for a goo... has just signed in. It didn't do this type of thing in
: windows live messenger version 8 and I'm just trying to find out if
: there's a way that I can either fix it with a tweak in JAWS, or if it
: can be fixed some other way either by me, or through the help of
: someone else? Now keep in mind that if i arrow through my contact
: list in windows live messenger, all the names are completely spoken
: and all that seems to be fine. however when someone signs in, I'd
: like to be able to hear their full name instead of it getting to a
: certain point and then going ... at the end. That just doesn't seem
: quite right. So if anyone knows a fix for this, I'd be greatful!
