Hi,
I think that your problem is caused by the fact that JAWS doesn't like that the
screen resolution gets changed on the fly which will happen if you open or
close your laptop lid.
I have the same problem with my Dell Latitude D620. If I start my laptop with
the lid closed it will default to a screen resolution of 1024x768, but if I
open the lid the internal LCD screen gets activated with a screen resolution of
1400x768 (or something like that). And JAWS is very confused until I set the
screen resolution back to 1024x768. So the best way is to avoid this is to not
open or close your laptop lid.
Hope this helpds.
-Harald

Hi everyone. I was on this list awhile back, I've since upgraded to jaws
eight, latest updated from April 26. Here's what's going on: if I close my
laptop lid, then open it back up, jaws won't read the system tray, just says no
selected item. If I click on an item like skype, using the letter s it opens.
I've set the laptop to do nothing when I close the lid, I've even turned off
hibernation. Also is anyone else having a problem where jaws will stop reading
the fields of mesages in outlook express? Again I find this when I close the
lid of the laptop. Now for the specs, windows xp home, two gig of ram, 80 gb
hard drive. If anyone can fix this I would be ecstatic.
Thanks for the help,
I apologize if there are any errors, no spell check on my new This is a dell
inspiron fifteen o one I think.system yet.
