Matt, I remember this problem. The helpful hint that I had for Jaws 6 said: The contact list has a focus issue with Jaws. So when you first bring up the main yahoo messenger window, use your jaws cursor and left double click a contact name and open a conversation, Then once you alt tab back to the main yahoo messenger window, you can use the pc cursor to up and down arrow the contact list. But it sounds like you have even refined it even more to just single left click on a name, smile. And it seems like yahoo messenger 7 has the same issue. The scripts for yahoo messenger that come with Jaws 7.0 and 7.1 address this problem. But unfortunately I don't know of any scripts for Jaws 5.1 that work with yahoo messenger 7.

I am currently using the latest version of yahoo messenger. I've noticed that when I click on the yahoo messenger icon to open the program, jaws comes up with the virtual pc cursor and won't read my list of friends to me until I route jaws to pc and click on one of their names with the left mouse button. Once I do that the program behaves as it used to. If anyone could help me with solving this problem so I can see my list of friends immediately, I would be greatful.
