Hi Alan; Try doing the following; 1. Press Jaws key+ 6 on the number row to open the configuration manager. 2. Press control, shift, + D to open the default configuration manager. 3. Press Alt + S for the set options menu. 4. Arrow down to Text Processing and press enter or when the Set Options menu opens just press the letter "T". 5. Tab 5 times to the List Item combobox. Here there are 4 options that you arrow up and down to select from They are; Say None, Say Selected, Say Not Selected, or Say Both. Personally I have mine set on Say Not Selected, but you can experiment with the settings to see which one you prefer. 6. After making your selection tab to okay, press spacebar/enter, press control + S to save your changes, and press alt + F4 to close. Hope this has helped. Take care. Mike

Hello Friends, I have been putting up with this problem for some months now, perhaps longer than that. The only way I know how to resolve it when it happens is to simply kill my computer, at the power supply. And restart the computer. Here is what happens. I will be in my Outlook Express, and perhaps do something like a bad keystroke or something, I am not sure, all of a sudden, when I arrow up or down through my messages, everything says: "Selected"! And even when I leave Outlook Express, go to my Documents, or any folder, and arrow up or down, JAWS still says "Selected"! Even when I go to a Word doc file, still every line I arrow up or down to will say "Selected"! Anyone have any ideas what causes this save for some strange key stroke command I might accidentally hit, or such? And how can I get the situation corrected, besides what I am doing killing the power to my computer and restarting it? I do not think that is good for one's computer, but the only solution I have found so far to get rid of the problem. This might happen once a week or so! Thanks for any assistance. I hope I explained the situation clearly enough.
