Hi Mairead,
By any c hance did you update items on your computer lately from the
Microsoft site using the windows update?. If so there is a chance that you
downloaded Internet Explorer 7 which is not compatible with jaws 4.5, you
would have to update to jaws 7.1 for that to work successfully.
If you'd like to check this out, when in Internet Explorer, go into the
help menu and arrow downt o "about" press the enter key.
Now use the jaws cursor to read the resulting screen to see if it updated
itself to IE7.
If this happened you can go into "control panel, add or remove programs" and
arrow down to IE7. There you can choose to uninstall it and this will roll
it back to IE6.
Just as an extra little point, make sure when in Internet Explorer that you
maximise the screens. Use left alt + spacebar and arrow down to maximise
then hit enter key.
Also, it is wise to check your display settings and make sure that they are
set correctly. Things like very graphical and colourful wallpapers such as
photos etc as well as flashy screen savers cause jaws to lose focus.
Paul.

Subject: [vip_students] Reading combo boxes with jaws 4.5
Hi all
I recently had to reinstall jaws 4.5 on my laptop. Since then I haven't
been able to read the contents of combo boxes. When I hold down the alt and
press the down arrow and arrow through the options jaws says nothing. I
deleted any items that were in start up under programmes but it didn't make
any difference. I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if there
are any settings that I could change.
Regards
Mairead O Mahony
