[program-l] Preventing JAWS 14 beta from changing the screen resolution and color scheme to Windows 7 Basic

Hi.

When starting JAWS 14 beta or JAWS 13, the color scheme on Windows 7 is changed to "Basic Color Scheme" and the resolution is altered resulting in Win7 advising that the new resolution is not correct for the primary display.

The result is that the Windows 7 magnifier stops working. This is probably due to JAWS disabling Aero.

Why is JAWS doing this and can it be prevented? I assume there is a reason why JAWS does this, so if JAWS is prevented to make these changes, what would it break in JAWS functionality?

Thanks in advance,
Kerneels
