I hit Alt and down arrow, and there are all of those menu options with Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11 and JAWS 17.

(I'm sure not for you." So you say the only options you have are File and Help on the menu bar. Do you have options that say nothing at all? That is, if you're on file, and you right arrow, does JAWS immediately say Help, or do you get nothing about four times, and then on the fifth right arrow get Help? I'm wondering if you have items which just aren't being read, or if you're being skipped over the ones in between. Does my question make sense? By the way, somebody mentioned the virtual cursor being turned off all the time, so I manually turned off mine and the menu itself still works normally. So I don't think that's your problem.

For example, if I press the alt key to bring up the file menus, only “file” and “help” are available. With the JAWS cursor, I know edit, favorites, etc., are there, but I can’t access them. I can get to favorites with alt-a. Here again, however, I encounter this weird binary situation where only two “favorites” are available to me. I’m having a similar experience with Chrome with the right-mouse-click menu on links. (this undoubtedly explains the problem I had yesterday following Brian’s suggestion for handling PDF files in Chrome.) I say this all occurred after I installed the current JAWS 17 release, but I’m not sure it’s the cause. I’m pretty sure I went into IE after installing the update and initially had no problems. I also found this morning that JAWS wasn’t reading character-by-character in Word 2010. Fortunately, I fixed this problem by a combination of Office 2010 repair and a JAWS repair using the .exe file for the current release. However, these fixes made no difference to IE. For the record, I also ran a Malwarebytes scan, and no problems were detected. Also, I’ve had no Windows updates in the past two days. I lean toward thinking this is a JAWS problem. Has anyone experienced it and, if so, did you find a fix? -- Brad Martin [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> My Facebook page where I post online shopping coupons and deals: facebook.com/ucoupons <http://www.facebook.com/ucoupons> My SmarterBucks signup link <http://bit.ly/1w5FCPu> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to [email protected] Archives located at: http://www.groups.io/g/jfw/threads Alternative archives located at: http://n2.nabble.com/JAWS-for-Windows-f2145279.html If you have any concerns about the list, posts received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
