Mike, I got Adobe Reader updated to X and am trying to get it configured to work best with JAWS 10 to 12 on my XP Home computer. Everything is going okay until I get to the step 6 about choosing the speed. Cox is my ISP I know that when I download NLS titles about 402 seems to be the upper limit of the download speed I get when I check. What speed to I choose for Adobe here?

You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with Jaws. Do the following: 1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The Adobe window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences. Another way to get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press Alt + E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, & press enter. 3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General highlighted. It is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode at startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue. You need to look at 2 more settings so, tab until you have General highlighted again. 4. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet highlighted. 5. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. 6. Tab to connection speed combobox, arrow up / down for the setting that best matches your Internet Providers speed. 7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences & save your changes, & press Alt + F4 to close Adobe. If I have missed something or if there is something that should be added, would someone please jump in & correct me?! Hope this helps. Take care.
