Hi Bruce, thanks for that. Do I have to press insert t twice everytime I want to read the title on the taskbar or do I only have to do this one time.

With JAWS you can fith the virtualize the title bar by hitting insert+t twice quickly. this will put the title bar into the virtual buffer.

Hi everyone, I hope I can write this question so you can all understand it. I am listening to streaming radio on the internet. The site I am on is www.woxy.com. I have chosen to use the plug in that requires winamp. When I access this site, I turn off speech, and I also close the website once the streaming starts. I also press windows key m to leave focus from winamp. When I want to find out what is being played I preess windows key tab to jump to the taskbar. If it is a long title the braille display will only show part of it. Here is a small sample of what I'm talking about. When I preess windows key tab the braille display will show: the words: taskbar the number one then the name Heather Durby followed by a space then the letter J. Is there a way to get the braille display to show the whole title on the taskbar? I am assuming that if you look at the taskbar then a sighted can see the whole title. I am using jaws 5.1, an Alva 544 satellite, windows xp home, and winamp 5.9. Just a side note if you want to hear radio with no commersials, and djs that areen't reeading from scripts, check this streaming radio out. Thanks for any help. Oh yeeah before someone suggests this, I know I could press enter on the winamp when I am on the taskbar, then route jaws to pc, and see the whole title that way, but I don't want to do that all the time. I want to quickly jump to the taskbar, see what is playing, and continue with whatever I am doing.
