I would suspect someone was playing about with things like screen savers
and/or other power settings and ended up getting that showing in the tray.
You can likely get rid of it by right clicking or maybe left clicking and
changing some setting or selection there.

I don't know if this is a related issue, or if I should start a new thread,
but...Sudeenly, right after Christmas, my desktop started showing something
in the System Tray that says "On AC Power". I hadn't added any new
hardware, and my wife and in-laws haven't admitted to any...But Christmas
day this wasn't there. Dec. 26, it was. Is this the same sort of power
info icon I'll be looking for once I get my laptop, and any idea what would
suddenly make that appear on my desktop PC?

Is your computer plug connected? If so it probably won't work. Unplug the
computer either from the wall or just remove the plug from the rear of the
machine, wait a moment then try and see if it is announced. It should
work.
I have no idea why it won't read when the mains power is applied but it
doesn't seem to.

Are you saying if it's in the system tray then these keys, shift-jaws
key-B will announce the battery status?
If so then why is it not working over here being as my battery is in the
sys tray already?

Mine says that all of the time if the power cord is connected or if the
power meter is not set up to show in the system tray.
Try JawsKey + F11. Jaws should say:
Select a system tray icon."
Arrow down and listen for anything that mentions battery status. It may
say plugged in or may say some percentage and charging but if it isn't
there then the Jaws + Shift + B won't work and you will have to go into
your control panel, find power and see if you can find an option to
show it in the system tray.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, or if I should have put
it on
Blind-computing, but here goes.
Once I get my new laptop, how to I check, with JAWS, the battery status
so
that I know when it needs a charge?..For instance, on my PACMate, the
battery level is on the Today sceen...On my cell phone running Windows
Mobile with MobileSpeak, I just double-tap a section of the screen to
get
the battery status.
Thanks.
Wes
