Hi Michelle,
the part of the Win7 sign-on you can't change is the fact that
you hear JAWS start up twice. Win7 has a modular design, so there
is a module for starting up and a module for the rest of the
operating system. I am probably not explaining this correctly,
but it is how I understand it.
Now for your log-on page problem. I am not sure what is going on,
but
1. Have you tried tabbing around to see if you can get to the
password field?
2. Maybe the screen isn't maximized, so you might give that a
try, or
3. Have you tried alt-tab to see if you can focus on the log-on
screen. With that in mind, what does JAWSKeY-t have to say.
I have 2 windows 7 machines, and so far haven't had this problem,
so this is all I can think of.

Ugh, not cool.
So what to do when the dialog box doesn't come into focus? Just
reboot
the computer?

Hi all,
I've finally made the leap from Windows xp to Windows 7, and not
a
moment too soon. The transition has been fairly smooth apart from
the
whole virtual ribbon scene, but I have encountered one glitch I
could
use some guidance on.
I have opted to have set a password for logging onto Windows.
Jaws
will announce itself ready for action after the windows music
sounds,
but won't always focus properly on the password field of the
login
screen. Sometimes it will simply say "logon dialog" without
allowing
me to type anything into it. Other times it will go straight
there and
all will work perfectly. What strikes me is odd is that Jaws will
then
announce itself as ready a second time once I have managed to log
in
successfully. Is there a setting I should know about to eliminate
this
issue?
Also, just wanted to confirm my suspicion that jaws works
infinitely
better when the user account control is set to 0...is that right?
Many thanks for your help,
Michelle
