What video/graphics card do you have on that system? It doesn't matter much
thanks to mirror display drivers (what windows 7 uses as oppose to video
intercept), but it still does matter. As you know I build custom computer
systems and such, and during testing I've seen some weird things happen with
stuff, which is no longer as black and white as ATI/AMD versus NVIDIA. Now
one card from one manufactuer or one chipset will be as bad as the other!
This won't help with jaws issues of its own, but it might make your life
easier to know why certain random things are read on screen, why jaws
doesn't automatically read other text, why jaws cursor acts weird on certain
screens etc.
Speaking of this, if you're using jaws11, and using this as a regular system
with IE9, you'll need jaws 12 or 13, cuz jaws11's jaws cursor doesn't work
on the new IE; microsoft made some changes to the UI of IE9 which until late
jaws 12 didn't let jaws cursor work. Even in jaws12 and 13 it's buggy IMO.
Also, sometimes jaws 13 behaves strangerly on some edit fields, not related
to any specific site....
If using firefox you're prob safe.
For use with CT, be sure to switch to the windows classic theme; if using
many of the available hotspots, you'll prob still need to do the screen
resolution change.
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [ddots-l] jaws 13 with windows 7
Hello,
Just curious, I just bought a machine with Windows 7, (my first upgrade
since xp,) and wanted to know whether users here find that Jaws 13 runs
better with w7 or wxp?
Thanks.
