Jaws refused to read out any content on the site, I could not refresh the page or reload it, if I tabbed into the address bar and went to another page, if it had a Search box, same thing happened. How can I turn off this Virtual PC Cursor? If I shut down Explorer and reopened it, the same problem occurred. A full reboot seemed to get things back to normal, until I tried the YahooGroups home page, which immediately brought back the Virtual PC Cursor issue. I'm using Jaws 11.o.756u, with it set to allow me to enter text into forms boxes without clicking Enter to activate forms mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[JAWS-Users] Virtual PC cursor question
Hi folks, Was surfing the net this morning and when I reached a site, I was immediately locked into the forms box, unable to exit using the arrow key. When this has happened before, I simply hit Escape, and could again arrow in and out of the search box. Not today. Today, Jaws said: Virtual PC cursor (which I have never heard before), and once I hit Escape, that was it. Jaws refused to read out any content on the site, I could not refresh the page or reload it, if I tabbed into the address bar and went to another page, if it had a Search box, same thing happened. How can I turn off this Virtual PC Cursor? If I shut down Explorer and reopened it, the same problem occurred. A full reboot seemed to get things back to normal, until I tried the YahooGroups home page, which immediately brought back the Virtual PC Cursor issue. I'm using Jaws 11.o.756u, with it set to allow me to enter text into forms boxes without clicking Enter to activate forms mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] new install jaws 11 reads "blank" when routing jaws topc
Hi Marsha. Probably a press on insert+escape is enough. But when you wrote that it is a brand new laptop, do you then have checked out the screen settings, so it appears correctly? Color's 24 bit or best 32 bit, and resolution can be a countless of setting's, whether your screen is all between 10 and 17 inch'es. An example can be something like 1160 * 652, or 1680 * 945.

When I route jaws to pc I get no information. It just says "blank". Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, this is a brand new laptop.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Voice Settings
Hi Kerryann. If you have set up Jaws in normal mode, and not to run from the system tray, you ought to could use alt+tab to the jaws window, and then the alt key to get to the menu line, and at the settings point, arrow down to voices and go to the submenu, and from there do your settings in jaws. It is not working by the tree view longer, when Jaws is'nt set to run from the system tray.
