Hi, No, everything's configured here just fine thanks but you have hit on the difference, the Windows version is why it works one way on one system and some other way on another machine. It makes no difference whether the Classic Startmenu is used.

Also, in Vista Home Premium 64 Bit which I am currently using. That is one I learned from the Jaws Help Menu. It could also be that you do not have your Windows system correctly configured. It has happened to me before. I know one web site that had the configuration for XP was JFW Lite. When you don't have it correctly configured it seems like that.
