HI I'm using windows xp professional service pack 2. After my computer started I'm suppose to be on the desktop but if I press insert+t jaws remains silent. If I then press insert+f1 jaws says: jaws may not recognize this control. If I press tab then I'm on the desktop. Jaws is only suppose to say this if I'm in an application which doesn't has standard controls, whose controls is custom. This cause no problem for me, I'm just curious as to why jaws says: jaws may not recognize this control, if I press insert+f1 just after my computer started after I find that insert+t says nothing? It seems as if jaws couldn't at that moment recognize that I'm on the desktop so maybe it's a bug in jaws, but as I say this only happens after my computer started. If my computer is booting up and then jaws says: jaws for windows is ready and I hear the tune playing to let me know windows is up and running, then after that tune played I wait a moment for jaws to say that I'm on the desktop, but then jaws says nothing and its then when I press insert+t that jaws says nothing and if I then press insert+f1 jaws says: jaws may not recognize this control. If it is that no window has focus, then jaws should rather say: no window is active. But seemingly this is another type of non focus which jaws sees as a custom control not defined in its window classes. Btw I'm using jaws7, at this stage I can't afford jaws8. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
