Mike: I just checked the list view under my computer, and found that the status bar, list options, and sort by ascending options were checked, as you suggested.
So, I think I'm ok on that score.

Go to My Computer, & press, Alt + V, to open the view menu. 2. I have the, Status Bar, checked. If yours is unchecked & you press enter to check it, it'll get checked but, it will also close the view menu after you press enter to check it. So press, Alt + V again to open. 3. Arrow down to, List, & press enter to check it if it isn't checked. Again you will have to reopen the view menu after pressing enter to check the list option. 4. In, Sort By, I have Name & Ascending checked. 5. In, Group By, I have, None, selected. With these settings I get only the drive names & letters reported by Jaws without any extra verbiage. Of course, you may want extra stuff announced so your settings may vary. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

The strange thing is that I didn't have this issue with this computer, prior to taking it to my University's I T department for servicing. This is why I think a setting might have been changed somehow.

I have just noticed a problem on the newly-acquired Windows 7 laptop I'm working with. When I insert a media storage device into one of the USB ports, such as an external hard drive, or a thumb drive, the computer gives me the sound indicating that the device is recognized. However, the device is not listed as an available device under "My Computer". The only way I can get the new device to come up under "my computer" is to shut down and then re-boot the computer. Is there a setting that I need to change in Windows 7 to get these external devices to be automatically recognized and listed in the usual way? I'm using Windows 7 and Jaws 17 here.
