This is a problem that will probably never be solved as long as sighted people can and will whip the mouse around and click, click as fast as they can without regard as to whether we can find the problem. Heaven forbid they could take a minute to explain a setup. I was on the phone with tech support for work yesterday in fact, he could hear Jaws but if I said it did not work in Jaws he loaded it and then proceeded to use the mouse, never taking into account that after he entered the program Jaws stopped talking, he swore it worked, made it a part of a startup sequence and later in the day when it would I assume pop up, albeit silently and prevent me from using Word I ended up going to add/remove programs and take it away, it was a messenger client, which I have not used before called Spark. I don't even have a messenger client on my computer so don't have a clue what might work with Jaws, it is the way they want us to stay intact, and the webmail client is a royal pain, takes much too long to get to what is needed, too many wows! And whistles and no real simple layout that would make navigation less cumbersome. My version of Outlook on that computer locked up Tuesday and I will have to find the file which is buried so deep it may never show up again. I am not fond of mile long path names either. I want to go back to DOS and Word Perfect when menus worked and I could do almost anything with a computer. That won't happen but I am finding that I hate programs that use a mouse, scroll bar, boxes that won't work no matter what commands are used and a company who said it all worked when probably 70% of it does not.

I know Eric from FS monitors this list and is fully sighted. Hopefully he will take this to his team as it will require a sighted developer/tech working on JAWS to come up with a solution Best, Al -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carolyn Arnold Sent: Friday, April 10, 2015 9:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS-Users] JAWS & sighted assistance Right on, David - same here with Jim, who, incidentally, is a very patient man.
