Sometimes you need to hit Alt Tab twice really fast. I've always had that
problem even with XP even before my sight got bad enough I had to depend
mostly on Jaws. I just hit Alt Tab twice rapidly and it moves to the next
open application. I use Windows 7, Jaws, and Magic.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Alt Tab in Windows 7
Hi Everyone,
I posted about this a while back but I didn't get any response. I thought
that I would try again and see if I can explain myself a bit better. Sense
I have started using Windows 7, I have been having a problem with using alt
tab to switch between programs. For example, lets say that I have open
JAWS, Excel, Word, Outlook, and Internet Explorer. I am in Excel and I need
to look up something on the net so I alt tab over to Internet Explorer.
Now, I try to alt tab back to Excel but I cannot. Alt tab will only go
between IE and JAWS. So, I use insert F10 to bring up the JAWS window list
and select Excel from there. Now that I have done that, I can again alt tab
between all of the open programs. Is there a setting that I can change to
make it so that all of the open programs are always in the alt tab rotation?
I don't know for sure that Windows 7 is what is causing the problem but I
have used all flavors of Windows back to Windows 3.1 and I have not had this
problem before. I upgraded to JAWS 13 at the same time that I upgraded to
Windows 7 so I suppose that JAWS could be the problem. I would appreciate
any suggestions.
Thanks,
Scott Duck
