Dan, what you need to do is to go into your insert plus f11 system tray icon dialogue, and look for an icon that says, windows messenger not signed in.
If you don't see the icon, then the program is closed so you'll need to go to your start menu, programs, and keep pressing w til you hear windows messenger and then press enter on that.

However, if you find the icon in your system tray,
press enter and a context menu will come up. press enter on the open option.

Next, go to your file menu and press enter on the option that says, sign in as... and you'll then get a dialogue asking you for your .net messenger passport address, if you have one. Simply type in the e-mail address and password associated with your passport and you can then sign in. If you don't have a passport account, you can press shift plus tab in that dialogue a couple times and you'll find a link that sas, get a .net passport. press enter on that, and you can then sign up for one. you will have to eventually get to the word verification, but with luck you can get past that and you can then verify your e-mail address. you'll receive an e-mail that says that you need to click on a link that verifys your address. so when you sign in, you'll need to pick a screen name for yourself, possibly yardbird? You can pretty much choose anything you like, so go ahead and do that. you should then be all signed in, and if you know someone else who uses msn/windows messenger, you can start adding people to your contact list and when they see you've requested to add them, they'll add you back. You can then start a chat with tem by pressing enter on their screen name in the list of contacts. Hope this is helpful.

I'm using current version Jaws 7, and the copy of Windows Messenger that was

apparently, so I can't check for its version number.  Sorry.

Subject: can't get started with Windows Messenger


I'm not able to begin learning to use this with Jaws.  I click on the
program icon to launch it.  Then I get something that tells me it's the log
on window and asks me to sign in.  But I don't hear "edit" or anything, and
I can't tab around or find any more of a dialogue.  So I just hit Enter
(actually, that didn't do anything so I did that route to Jaws cursor thing
that sometimes behaves like a left mouse click, and the log on window
disappeared and the system tray came up, with the message Windows Messenger
Not Signed In.  I pressed Enter on that, and got presented once again with
that inscrutable log on window.

What's happening?  How do I set this baby up and activate it?

Thanks.
