I don't use screen magnification. But, have you ever tried just using Jaws
without the screen magnification. Jaws might read better without the screen
magnification on to distract it?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trying To Recover from computer destruction
On June 9, my computer was completely destroyed vy a viscious worm which
entered it when I attempted to watch a video of Glenn Greenwald
interviewing
Edward Snowden. Everything was so damaged that Carlos H, who is the
sighted
person who cares for my computer, had to completely wipe clean the hard
drive and re-install everything, including Windows 7. I am now attempting,
with great difficulty, to get things to work so I can do the really
minimal
things that an old lady like me, does with the computer. I have Windows
7,
Jaws 13, and I E 9. I now have Office 2007 which means a whole other
bunch
of questions but first:
I have a few initial questions that someone may be able to comment on. I
must add, that I use Magic, at an extremely high magnification, 21, to
supplement Jaws.
Many of my emails and the Library at Audible.com, look different than they
did, and some are difficult or impossible to access. One example is, I get
news updates from the New York Times. The format usually is a headline, a
short summary, and then a link. It is now saying it is in a table and I
can't read it, not even if I go into table mode. This has occurred with
several emails which usually consist of headlines, followed by summaries
and
then links.
In one of these emails, Reader Supported news, Jaws keeps repeating the
same
thing over and over again and won't read line by line of the content with
insert 2. It will read if I move word by word with control arrow.
Another problem, I tried to download the Humanware Companion Software
which
I had before. I found the link, pressed enter on it, and nothing happened.
Is there something that I should ask Carlos to fix that relates to how
things are displayed? Can anyone suggest why the companion software might
not be downloading?
Miriam
