Hello,
Try the following:
1. close jaws by pressing insert+f4 followed by enter
2. press windows+r to open the run dialogue
3. type jaws10 /default
4. press enter
5. when jaws starts, open notepad and see if the problem persists
if the problem persists, do the following:
1. go to start\all programs or programs\jaws\explore jaws\explore my
settings
2. open the personalised settings folder
3. press control+a
4. press shift+delete and say yes
5. exit jaws and start jaws as you normally would
6. reconfigure all of your jaws settings and see if the problem persists
If the problem still persists, try the following
1. go to run and type msconfig
2. go to the startup tab and click on disable all
3. close the window and restart your computer
4. reenable each item, one at a time, until you find out which one was
causing the problem
Be sure to restart the computer after reenabeling each item.

I had this very same problem when I installed JAWS 10 many months ago.
I reported it to FS and they agreed it was a bug that needed to be
fixed. I removed JAWS 10 and went back to JAWS 9. I installed JAWS 11
when it came available. I was not enamored with JAWS 10.

I just recetly installed jaws 10 on an xp pro laptop. When I open
notepad it acts as if nothing is there. though if turn on window
eyes it reads just fine. What might I have overlooked during
installation.
