Hello ericka. Here's what I've done to make yahoo messenger work with jaws eight. First, go to www.jaws-users.com and download the yahoo scripts from the scripts page. Then, go to your jaws shared settings folder by going to the start menu, programs, jaws eight, explore jaws, and explore shared settings. Then, delete the old yahoo scripts that are already there. Once they are all deleted, paste in the new scripts you got from the jaws users page. Once that's done, open up yahoo messenger. Once your main contact window is open, press insert q twice quickly. this will put the configuration information in the virtual viewer. Arrow down until you find configuration name, and copy the name to the clipboard. the name should be Yahoo Instant Messenger Main. Once that's done, go back to your shared folder, and rename all the new yahoo script files with this name, but don't change the extensions, however. When you've finished with that, restart yahoo messenger and it should work fine. Hope this was helpful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ericka cannon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 6:00 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] yahoo messenger
