Chris, I admire your ability and experience but sometimes you forget that many of us are not nearly as capable as you are when it comes to manipulating these systems.
If there is a document which has been written which specifically deals with how to optimize Jaws for use with Windows 7, I'd appreciate having that resource myself. You started us off by indicating that the place to make such changes would be in "Personalizing Windows" and that's fine, but where do we go from there? Any help in making Windows 7 behave more comfortably with Jaws 11 would be sincerely appreciated.

If you are using Starter, you need to do it through Display, otherwise you do it through Personalization.
