You may also need to press the spacebar on the desired account before typing if there are multiple accounts.

It might be in the listing of accounts when you try to type in your password. Jaws will say Logging on a second time, presumably because once you enter the password, Windows will load your personal user profile and you have Jaws set to talk at the startup screen and also when you start your profile. Jaws performs equally well whether UAK is set to 0 or 67%, which is the default. The UAK will often give dialogs if you try to run programs or install a new program. Sometimes, the dialog may be covered up, but you would press alt-Y to run or alt-N to deny the program access. Some people elect to turn off UAK to avoid these annoyances. However, UAK does isolate the operating sytem and your browsing from the effects of malware which could run much more easily in XP. I do a bit of tech work and recommend my clients keep UAK on, at least at the 33% level. Even though I am technically competent, run an anti-virus program, a malware program, a software and hardware firewall, I also elect to run UAK on my own Win 7 PC. I know others who think that is overkill, so if you choose to keep it off, that is your decision. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

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?
