I have had this happen in Windows7, so I rebooted, and it seemed to have fixed the problem.

Often times it means that there is another window partly covering up that section of the screen. Try a windows tab command to find out if something else is running. *** It is just one of those times when there is another process, or a number of processes that your system is handling. You have to escape to close the dialog box and try again after some time. For example, if you just logged into your system, Windows may stilll be populating the tray or arranging items for correct display. So JAWS will not be able to show you items in the tray. Of course there may be other explanations, but that is what I often discover when this happens; just like the case when you find JAWS just saying "Lost focus" when another window is processing something in the background. JAWS would have lost focus of the handle temporarily but if it is a progress window, it would regain the focus. Just a matter of giving it time and requires a bit of patience. Take care.
