Gudrun, You've given the perfect real world example of the information blackout that Joseph Lee described and gave the perfect term for earlier. I cannot say how many times the client I've been tutoring has hit that brick wall through no fault of their own, and it's insanity making. I absolutely hate to have to tell a client, "I can walk you through this, and you should be able to do it yourself, but JAWS is no longer giving you the feedback you must have to do it." I realize that this isn't always a JAWS fault, either, and try to report issues to whoever I think might fix them if I think I know who that is and time allows. Appropos of information blackout, has anyone else been having the JAWS 17 installation fall silent after the pre-install (clicking wood blocks status sound) phase? On two separate Win7 64-bit machines, with fresh downloads of the JAWS 17 installer, I've had this happen within the last four weeks. No problem for me, but talk about maddening for the target users!! Brian
