Pete. I use Windows 7 with the classic theme here. The sets weren't particularly optimised for that theme, it's just that they seem to work best with it. BTW, haven't gone anywhere near Jaws 12. Not sure if I will upgrade my SMA at this point as don't' think Jaws represents good value for money any more.

Several folks on this list suggested that I switch to the Windows Classic Theme in the Control Panel / Personalization dialog. I was using the Windows 7 Theme by default. This fixed the issues with the HSC sets. Now I am noticing with JAWS 12 that, often, when I lock the screen with WindowsKey+L, JAWS will not read the login screen. Actually, when I first reboot, if I lock the screen within 15 to 20 minutes, JAWS will read the logon screen. However, after using the computer for a bit, if I lock the screen, JAWS will not read it. Maybe this is something wrong with JAWS deteriorating? I don't know. the last time this happened and I couldn't read the screen when it was locked, I was using the Windows Classic theme. I unlocked the screen and changed to the Windows 7 theme. then, amazingly, when I locked the screen again JAWS was able to read the logon screen. Has anyone else noticed similar behavior? Does everyone using HSC sets use the Windows Classic theme on their Windows 7 computers or are some folks able to use the Windows 7 Theme successfully with the HSC sets? I presume that the HSC sets were optimized for one theme or another? Thanks. --Pete
