Mich, I get that sometimes even with JAWS 10. It won't read the

no clue why not.
You can always minimize every thing then tab to the system tray from
the desktop. Once on the desktop, I tab once to start button, twice
to land on the taskbar, and the third time is the system
tray. You'll hear whatever icon is currently active. When I tried
it just now, the icon telling me I had new Email was there because
I'd just gotten new Email.
Use the down arrow key to move through the system tray choices, then
press enter when you hear computer at risk. This should land you in
the MSE main window.
If this doesn't work, you could always just unload and then restart
JAWS or reboot the PC. This has helped with the issue of JAWS not
reading system tray icons properly.
Otherwise, I'm stumped and someone else with more knowledge will
have to give it a shot.
This does sound like more of a screen reader issue, though.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] update on trying to install and run mse on
windows xphome with sp 3 and jaws 7.
Hello Lisa. The problem is this. I am not hearing anything when I
click on the program. also when I go to the system tray it says
computer at risk. but this icon only shows up for a minute and then
when you go back to the system tray it is gone. I tried even going
so far as to download a copy demo of jaws 11 to see if another
blind friend of mine could use the tandum feature to see what was
going on. also when I did click on the icon that says computer at
risk it brings me in to the context menu of active sink witch it
shouldn't do and I get choices like tyal windows vertically etc. I
have even tried clicking on Microsoft security esentchels in the
programs menu and nothing happens it just says enter and start
button. so in short this is really weird and quite frustrating. I
am running windows xp home sp 3 and jaws 7.0. I hope that this info
helps out to see where or what options I have left to solve this. from Mich.

Mich, the dialog of MSE is a bit of a combination between a
Windows seven menu structure and a old school layout.
Are you asking MSE to scan your PC or what? when you first open
the program, you should be sitting on a scan now button. If you
press enter here, I believe the default is to do a quick scan,
which really doesn't take all that long if I remember correctly.
It's not very obvious while it's scanning; you won't get anything
on a status line, there's no progress beeps or anything like that,
and because it doesn't use resources, you won't know until you
actually open the main window. I use my JAWS cursor to read
around in here, but you can also tab to the different options for
the scanning preferences.
When you go to the system tray, is there an icon in the list
saying computer status protected or computer status unprotected?
If you haven't gotten this far, let us know so we can suggest
other things. Are you getting an error message, or do you just not
know for sure if you're in the MSE window. I'd assume that an
earlier version of JAWS would work with this because the buttons
and other options are clearly labeled, but this could also be an issue.
