Hi thanks for your response; I did ask, if she had another keyboard we could try, answer was no.
the laptop has a full size keyboard, with numpad, I thought maybe this was the issue, but, everything I did, still yield not selected, selected. in fact, I couldn't tell, which items were checked, in the view menu, and I had real difficulty trying to set up a second MSOutlook profile for her, because, when I was creating the email account portion of the profile, jaws would not read and say, checked box check or not checked. it was strange. anyway, I finally got her computer operating normally. again thanks for the suggestions. have a good one! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob Kruger" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 6:52 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] windows7&jaws OK, strange then, but glad it's working now. Only other thing would have suggested you try otherwise would have been another keyboard, plugged in externally if on a laptop, etc., but anyway. For example, not relevant, but recently my mother and brother thought her normal windows XP machine had problems, until I explained to them that as soon as I changed keyboards, suddenly it was operating fine again since seems that old keyboard had some physical issues - don't know exactly what had happened to it to make it happen, but on the top row of the main part of the keyboard, only the `/~ and backspace keys worked - everything inbetween from the number 1 through to the =/+ sign did nothing at all.
